JOHANNESBURG - The ANC is standing by Human Settlements Minister Thembi Simelane amid growing calls for her to step aside. 

Simelane is accused of receiving a R500,000 loan from a facility linked to unlawful VBS Mutual Bank. 

She's also under scrutiny for allegedly living beyond her means as Polokwane mayor.

However, Secretary-General Fikile Mbalula says Simelane has not been formally charged or found guilty.

He says the ANC’s step-aside rule only applies to members facing criminal charges.

Lawson Naidoo from Casac spoke to eNCA.
