'We have been advised by ANC officials ... that the money has already been disbursed to all the regions for the express purpose of why it was donated.'
Speaking to TimesLIVE on Tuesday, Magaxa said the decision to return the donation was in line with a resolution the ANC took at its national conference in December 2017 for party leaders to distance the ANC from any form of donations that seemed to be questionable.
"We appreciate Dr Iqbal as a long-serving member of the ANC. He is one of us, but the reality is his name and his company are implicated in the looting of the PIC," added Magaxa. "We would be benefiting in our election campaign from that money. The PIC is pensioners' money. We can't take it."“It should be noted that our donation came as a direct result of the request from the ANC Western Cape for donations for election day food parcels and logistics for volunteers,” Sekunjalo said.
The company claimed that the instruction to return the funds had come from deputy minister of finance and chairman of the PIC Mondli Gungubele. It added that Gungubele was on a mission to tarnish the image of Survé and Sekunjalo.READ MORE:
