RE: UNAUTHORIZED AND UNLAWFUL RECALLS OF MEMBERS OF THE CITIZENS COALITION FOR CHANGE.
The above matter refers.
We hereby advise that Sengezo Tshabangu, the Interim Secretary General of the Party is the only officer authorised to effect recalls and to communicate with public bodies for that purpose in terms of our party constitution previously lodged with your office.
Meanwhile, due to a High Court provisional order in case number HH652/23 the only official with the powers to effect recalls is interdicted from effecting any further recalls pending the finalisation of matters before the High Court where his authority is being challenged.
For that reason, we reiterate that there is no other party official with the authority to effect recalls.
We ask that you have regard to the legal matters pending before the courts and our Constitution before acting on any purported letters of recall and rightly disregard such mischievous efforts.
