ANC heavyweight Mandla Msibi may be nearing the end of his suspension, but the party's national leadership says his return to active politics will depend on a formal verification process to confirm that he has fully complied with the terms of his sanction.

The ANC told Sunday World that Msibi’s one-year active suspension, which lapses next month, is subject to the party's internal review procedures before it can be formally lifted.

“The lifting of any sanction is subject to verification that the terms and conditions of the suspension have been fully complied with, including continued discipline and conduct consistent with the ANC’s values,” said ANC national spokesperson Mahlengi Bhengu.
