Johannesburg - The National African Chamber of Commerce & Industry (Nafcoc) on Saturday welcomed the Constitutional Court's refusal of ousted president Joe Hlongwane's application for leave to appeal.
"This effectively puts an end to the litigation relating to the parallel meeting of December 6, 2012, at which the genuine executive committee of Nafcoc was purportedly removed from office and Hlongwane's executive committee appointed," current president Lawrence Mavundla said in a statement.
Hlongwane had appealed to the Constitutional Court against a November decision of the Supreme Court of Appeal that effectively ousted him as president of the National African Federated Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Nafcoc).
