The South Gauteng High Court has dismissed all three applications seeking intervention between suspended secretary-general Ace Magashule and the African National Congress (ANC). The judge dismissed all applications with no cost 

 Judge Jody Kollapen said that the applications were all filed after 1 June, which was when the matter was initially set to be heard. Magashule, who was suspended in May, was seeking to have it declared unlawful, invalid, and unconstitutional.

He also wanted the 2017 conference resolution of stepping aside, which was used to remove him from office, to be declared unconstitutional.
