election posters | Radio 94.7 FM

The ruling party recently had a big shock when they received a bill of R100 million for the printing of 30,000 ANC election posters.

This indicates that a single poster cost about R3,000, which made the printing press rich overnight, but it seems like the ANC is hesitant pay such a bill.

Ezulweni Investments in Natal reportedly did the printing of the posters used by the ANC during the election, but the ANC said the bill would not be paid because no command was given for the order.

Fikile Mbalula allegedly said he knew nothing about the order given to the printing press, and now the printing press wants to drag the ANC to the Supreme Court.

An estimated R2 billion was spent by the political parties during the last election, and observers noted that printing companies probably received the best share of the money.

The ANC Treasury General, Paul Mashatile, was apparently unaware that an invoice was made for the debt to be paid.

It was apparently only when the invoice, with an amount of R102 million, was shown to him, that the sparks flew.

An investigation has now been ordered following the invoice issued for the delivery of 35,000 election posters that were apparently not approved by the party.

Mashatile was apparently unaware of the deal until the invoice was brought to his eyes, and an investigation is now underway as to who is responsible for the mess.

However, it appears that the ANC did receive and use the posters, and will thereby also be responsible for paying the bill.
