The decision was taken by the ANC special provincial executive committee which met on Wednesday night.

Masuku, his wife Joburg MMC of group corporate Loyiso Masuku and presidency spokesperson Khusela Sangoni will face the party’s integrity commission to answer to allegations that there were irregularities in how a company owned by Diko’s husband, Royal Bhaca Projects, scored contracts worth more than R100m.
