Election"war rooms" for the African National Congress were set up at the Krugersdorp headquarters of corruption-accused company Bosasa in the run up to at least three previous elections, without the party having to carry any of the costs.
According to the sources' breakdown of costs , the video wall cost Bosasa in excess of R400 000, the brand new computers and software licensing cost around R450 000 for 32 new PCs and Bosasa picked up the tab for the phone bills, roughly R14 000 a week for four weeks. Last week, former treasurer general of the ANC Zweli Mkhize confirmed that the party accepted donations from Bosasa"directly or in kind".
