The ANC in the Western Cape says the membership of seven men, linked to recent sanitation protests in Cape Town, has been temporarily suspended.

ANC provincial secretary, Songezo Mjongile says this is the result of continuous defiance of the organisational instruction to desist from engaging in activities that bring the party into disrepute.

He says the suspended members are not to take part in meetings of the ANC or speak on its behalf.

Cape Town has been hit by a number of human waste dumping incidents in the past few months by people protesting about sanitation in informal settlements.

Human faeces was again dumped on the steps of the provincial legislature last month.

This happened at the same time 9 men appeared in the Bellville Magistrate's Court for allegedly dumping human waste at Cape Town International Airport.
