2019 ELECTION: Swerve on Survé: R1m donation falls foul of ANC factional strife By Marianne Merten marianne_merten
he had learnt of the donation only on Monday, and called Tuesday’s meeting after confirming the inquiry into the PIC had not yet completed its proceedings. Tuesday’s meeting determined “it won’t be proper for the ANC to accept it”.We can not take a donation from a donor which is not clear … which has the possibility of undermining the ANC.”
While the ANC statement announcing the return of the donation due to the cloud over the donor and his companies was rather mildly put, Cosatu did not mince its words when it welcomed the ANC decision.Damning allegations of corruption, poor governance have been aired at the commission.
The statement goes on about the “regrettable” conduct and “a personal and political vendetta” ascribed to Gungubele.Dr Survé is confident that we have the support of Democrats in holding to account those in power like Mr Gungubele, who abuse their position to fight personal and political vendettas.” The donation, it was announced, would go to ensure ANC volunteers had food and that there was transport to voting stations. Rasool told the meeting the “New Dawn had not come with a budget” and that being able to provide food and transport for volunteers had ensured that over the past year numbers grew from 5,000 to 15,000. The donation would ensure action for the ANC on election day.
