Johannesburg Regional Secretary for the African National Congress (ANC), Mr Dada Morero said that people from other countries are free to join ANC and participate in meetings, programmes and various campaigns of the party.
Mr Morero was responding to iniAfrica.com news on the issues of membership eligibility and fairness on discipline in the ANC in relation to foreign nationals who may choose to be members of the party.
“Foreign nationals may participate, however, they will not be eligible to vote in meetings but may participate in programmes, meetings and campaigns.” he said.
Asked on the capacity upon which they may participate in all these ANC activities, Mr Morero said that they can do so as volunteers since actual membership of the African National Congress is strictly for South Africans who possess a valid South African I.D and are eighteen years of age and above.
On the issue of discipline, he said that his party treats people with fairness in accordance with the constitution.
“All members are treated in accordance with the constitution. No one just gets expelled on the basis that they are not South African born.” He added.
