The ANC acknowledged in a statement that it was important to have academics and researchers on the panel.

But community activists and participants in the struggles that shaped the city's heritage and culture should also be represented.

Democracy at work or incumbent party flexing its politicking muscle?

"Apart from the fact that she is a close friend and supporter of [city mayor] Helen Zille, she is a strident and polemical critic of the ANC," it said.

Oh, never mind. Critics are never welcome
