Controversial businessman Iqbal Survé says he expects 'absolutely nothing in return' after making a sizeable last-minute donation to the ANC's election campaign in the Western Cape.
Survé has been at the centre of graft allegations at the Public Investment Corporation‚ with various entities linked to him allegedly having benefited from deals made out of due process.
It is believed the value of his donation to the ANC was about R1m."I only have one condition to our support‚ do not give us anything in return. We want absolutely nothing in return ... Our support is unconditional. If you win whatever council or province‚ we don't want to see you‚" he said.Also present at the briefing was ANC Western Cape elections co-ordinator Ebrahim Rasool.
Rasool told guests that Survé sponsored parts of the ANC's Thuma Mina campaign in the province in 2018. "When the president called for Thuma Mina‚ he didn’t send a budget with him … he wanted projects and all our volunteers asked for was for some food. That's when we made contact with Sekunjalo‚ among others‚" he said.
"That created a foundation because when others saw that we were able to give some food to our volunteers‚ the volunteer base grew to what it is today‚ 15‚000-plus volunteers. That's the foundation‚ Iqbal‚ that your companies led."
