Former ANC Veterans' League spokesperson Carl Niehaus has been expelled from the ANC.
The ANC's National Disciplinary Committee found Niehaus guilty of six charges of misconduct for bringing the party into disrepute.
This was in relation to his defence of former president Jacob Zuma following the Constitutional Court ruling that he must be imprisoned for contempt of court.
One of his comments was that "the ruling of the Constitutional Court is a travesty of justice... The law is being used selectively as an instrument to fight political and factional battles."
