ANC sued by car rental company for failing to pay R5.7 million for 595 cars

Posted on Leave a comment

An Ekurhuleni-based car rental company is suing the ANC for more than R5.7 million, including interest, after the governing party failed to pay for the 595 motor vehicles it rented ahead of its Nasrec conference, held in December 2017.

Sizwe Car Rental, based in Isando, east of Johannesburg, applied to the Pretoria High Court earlier this month to have an order for judgment issued against Luthuli House for rental fees covering the period between August 2017 and July 2018.

The vehicles were rented from airports and motor depots countrywide and invoices were issued for them.

The ANC has until Wednesday to inform the court whether it disputes the claim and intends to defend it.

Judgment, as has been claimed, may be given against the party without further notice if it fails to comply with the court deadline.

Sizwe, which has a 24-year track record in the rental industry, said it had repeatedly sent invoices to the ANC in respect of eac

Well ‘Mr’ Bheki Cele, your ‘Honorable minister’, do you really think you can control your people

JOHANNESBURG – Police Minister Bheki Cele says that officers will not be kind to those seeking to disrupt people from participating in the elections, law enforcement agencies will ensure that voters’ rights to cast their ballots are protected.

Cele was speaking during a briefing by the African National Congress (ANC)’s peace and security sub-committee at Luthuli House on Sunday.

He says that law enforcement agencies will ensure that voters’ rights to cast their ballots are protected.

“We won’t be kind to those that block people who are going to vote. If you don’t want to vote, we can’t push you there, but you’re not going to stop other people going there. We are not going to be kind to those people in terms of implementing the law.”

South Africans are set to go to the polls in just under two months, on 8 May.

Well, well, the rich ANC confirms that they will cover Jacob Zuma’s legal costs or are the Gupta’s involved

Posted on Leave a comment

The bank of the ANC will be opening its doors to one of their most frequent customers. Jacob Zuma is set to be bailed out by the party in his legal fees saga.

Fair play to Jacob Zuma. He’s absolutely adamant he won’t pay a cent towards his own court bills, and he seems to be winning the fight. Speaking to SABC on Friday morning, the ANC’s Acting national spokesperson Dakota Legote confirmed they would bailout Msholozi by paying for his legal fees.

It marks a bizarre twist in the tail, just 24 hours after Zuma was asked to pay back a fee of approximately R16 million in public funds he used for his own private court cases. The ANC initially welcomed the judgement he’d have to “pay back the money”, but Legote seems to be letting the former president off the hook in a major way.

The DA challenges the ‘failing’ ANC to suspend Pule Mabe, ANC national spokesperson

Posted on Leave a comment

It has not been a great week for the ANC. It has been an even worse week for the party’s national spokesperson, Pule Mabe, who stands accused by his former personal assistant of sexual harassment.

The 26-year-old wrote a 14-page letter of complaint to the deputy secretary-general, Jessie Duarte, telling of the horrors of working for Mabe.

Pule Mabe sexual harassment scandal
In the grievance letter, the PA, an avid supporter of the ANC Youth League, recalled a number of occasions where she found herself cornered by Mabe, who was allegedly doing everything in his power to initiate a sexual relationship with her.

After refusing his advances on a consistent basis, the PA alleged that Mabe started abusing her emotionally and even went as far as allegedly cutting her salary.

Mabe has since taken leave from his duties until the internal processes into the complaint have concluded.

DA calls on the ANC to su
