Carl Niehaus has been expelled from the ANC. The former spokesperson for the ANC’s Umkhonto we Sizwe Military Veteran’s Association was found guilty by the ANC’s national disciplinary committee (NDC) on six counts of misconduct for bringing the party into disrepute, following sentiments uttered following former president Jacob Zuma’s being sent to prison for contempt of court last year.

According to the NDC’s findings, Niehaus’s comments went beyond the boundaries of free speech, and brought the party into disrepute.

The NDC added Niehaus showed no remorse.
