Carl Niehaus

Carl Niehaus has tendered his resignation as a member of the ruling party following his expulsion two weeks ago.

On June 29 this year, Niehaus attacked the judiciary, saying “our courts have clearly been captured. In his resignation, Niehaus said he did not leave the party he joined 43 years ago, “it left him”.“ The NDC found his behaviour brought the ANC into disrepute and his lack of remorse did not do him any favours.

Carl Niehaus. Ambassador. MEDIA STATEMENT BY AMBASSADOR CARL MPANGAZITHA NIEHAUS: ANNOUNCING MY DECISION TO RESIGN FROM THE AFRICAN NATIONAL CONGRESS (ANC), ...

I pledge that I will continue to dedicate my life, and all the energy that I have, to the liberation ideals that in the first instance brought me to joining the ANC. I repeat, there is nothing left for you as revolutionaries to be part of in this ‘ANC’: Tragically, the true ANC that you joined is dead. The upcoming national elections of 2024 will be the final death knell of the majority party status, of this thing that the sell outs still try to call the the ‘ANC’. History has no empty pages, and my decades long history, and the dedication and sacrifices that I have made in pursuit of the full liberation of black, especially African South Africans, as a member of the African National Congress, is well known and a matter of public record. Like every other comrade who joined the ANC, with all our liberation ideals and hopes, I have joined the ANC voluntarily as an individual. The death knell for the ANC was sounded when Ramaphosa, and his sell out NEC, was corruptly and fraudulently elected at the 54th National Conference of the ANC in December 2017 at NASREC. Two days ago, on Wednesday the 21st of December, I hosted a three and a half hour long #InMyCrosshairs Twitter Space, that was tuned in to by over 30 000 participants, during which I engaged with fellow comrades, and explained in detail why I cannot continue to be a member of the ANC. I have not left the ANC, the ANC has left me. To put it straightforward and simply: I remained a member of the ANC, and with this media statement I am now resigning my membership. However, because of a long history of betrayal by sell out leaders, spies and agents of imperialism and White Monopoly Capital (WMC), the original liberation task and commitment with which the ANC was formed on the 8th of January 1912, at the Waaihoek Methodist Church in Mangaung, was slowly but surely hollowed out, and eventually totally betrayed. Mbalula’s own triumphalist dictatorial statement at the closing press conference of the 55th National Conference, that he will be an Inquisition-like enforcer, is more than enough evidence that the so-called ‘New Dawn’, is now a full blown era of dictatorship and the repression of freedom of speech. It follows that since I am resigning with immediate effect, to proceed with my appeal will be illogical, and a waste of time and effort.

He said in the video that the ANC has become a “slave-like service” of white monopoly capitalism. “I pledge that I will continue to dedicate my life, and all the energy that I have, to the liberation ideals that in the first instance brought me to joining the ANC. Niehaus has dropped the appeal against his expulsion, he said that it would be “illogical, and a waste of time” to pursue his rage further. “There is also no need to subject myself to the continuing farcical kangaroo court of the ANC National Disciplinary Committee, and by extension the National Disciplinary Committee of Appeal. He said at the time that he was still a member of the ANC and would not give in to pressure. To put it straightforward and simply: I remained a member of the ANC, and with this media statement I am now resigning my membership. Mbalula’s own triumphalist dictatorial statement at the closing press conference of the 55th National Conference, that he will be an Inquisition-like enforcer, is more than enough evidence that the so-called ‘New Dawn’, is now a full-blown era of dictatorship and repression…” Said Niehaus: “I know that there are those who will continue with their cheap Stratcom political propaganda, attempting to undermine the gravitas and importance of this decision, by trying to argue that I cannot resign from an organisation that I have apparently already been ‘expelled’ from. “I have already appealed the travesty of justice of my illegal expulsion by the ANC National Disciplinary Committee. Niehaus announced on Friday that he has resigned from the ANC “with immediate effect”. Because I have appealed, the farcical expulsion is suspended. After the news of his expulsion was relayed to him by his “comrade” Supra Mahumapelo, Niehaus fumingly filmed his reaction saying that he would appeal.
