African National Congress secretary-general, Fikile Mbalula, on Monday said the party was following its established procedures in dealing with the matter of Justice Minister Thembi Simelane.
Simelane has been sucked into the controversial VBS scandal, with allegations that she received a loan to buy a coffee shop.
Last week, IOL reported that taking the stand before the Justice Portfolio Committee in Parliament, Simelane said she would be dealing with issue of whether she acted improperly or could have made better decisions during her tenure as executive mayor of Polokwane Municipality in Limpopo.
On Monday, Mbalula addressed journalists in Gauteng ahead of the starting of a national working committee meeting of the ANC in Boksburg.
He said the party is careful not to jeopardise its members, and it might turn out that they were innocent.
