He highlighted that councillors have a duty as elected representatives to uphold the Constitution, respect the rule of law, and exhibit responsible leadership. Additionally, the ANC called on political parties not to protect their members from accountability.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\n\u201c<em>The ANC Ekurhuleni respects the courts&#8217; independence and will not pre-empt the legal process&#8217;s outcome. However, we firmly believe that justice must be served, and due process must be adhered to within the legal framework<\/em>,\u201d Dlabathi added.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\nThe party reiterated its stance that no one is above the law and called for justice as the legal proceedings continue.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"wedod-790356705\" class=\"wedod-after-content wedod-entity-placement\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-1458300956780583\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1458300956780583\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"\" \ndata-ad-format=\"auto\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The ANC in Ekurhuleni has raised significant concerns regarding the arrest of Democratic Alliance (DA) PR Councillor Kabelo<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":36510,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[4795],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-36509","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-politics"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>ANC Ekurhuleni Insists on Fair Probe into DA Councillor<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"ANC Ekurhuleni calls for a thorough investigation into the murder and kidnapping allegations involving a DA councillor.
