BREAKING: CARL NIEHAUS EXPELLED BY ANC FOR MISCONDUCT
The African National Congress (ANC) has now expelled Carl Niehaus for misconduct after the party’s national disciplinary committee (NDC) found Niehaus found guilty on six counts of contravening rule 25 of the ANC’s constitution.
Niehaus had been on suspension for comments he made outside former president Jacob Zuma’s Nkandla homestead back in July 2021, ahead of his arrest for contempt of court. The transgressions against Niehaus are all detailed in a report signed by the NDC chairperson Ralph Mgijimi dated 12 December.

PLOT TO KILL ARTHUR FRASER, ZUMA’S LAWYER OVER PHALA PHALA – REPORT
