More than 800 of Cope’s Mbhazima Shilowa’s supporters will join the United Democratic Movement, its leader Bantu Holomisa has announced.

In an effort to reinvent itself for the next elections, Cope will flush out those who supported expelled former deputy president Mbhazima Shilowa.

Mosiuoa Lekota has won the case for the Congress of the People’s leadership after fighting Mbhazima Shilowa for the position since 2010.

Cope was not in a position to hold a credible elective congress in May 2010, party president Mosiuoa Lekota has told the high court in Johannesburg.

There have always been suspicions about the probity of the contracting process surrounding the Gautrain.

The divisions about e-tolling within the ANC-led tripartite alliance have been directly linked to the infighting leading up to Mangaung.

Cope president Mosiuoa Lekota has invited all opposition parties for talks on November 25 on forming a more united front against the ANC.

Mbhazima’s application to have the order barring him from calling himself the leader — or a member — of Cope has been postponed … indefinitely.

A Cope faction aligned to Mbhazima Shilowa is siding with the ANC, as is the PAC, in coalitions around the country, particularly in the Western Cape.

Cope communications chief Phillip Dexter has proposed that the party relaunch itself or disband, the <em>Times</em> said on Thursday.

Cope was to blame for the Nelson Mandela Bay metropolitan council remaining in ANC hands, Cope officials themselves conceded.

The minutes of a Cope election team meeting reveal a devil’s brew of mistakes, failures and mismanagement in the procurement of campaign materials.
