Mashatile denies integrity commission report exists
18 April 2019
ANC treasurer general Paul Mashatile has denied the existence of a report by the party's integrity committee despite its chair George Mashamba confirming the opposite.
The committee was roped in by the ANC's national executive committee (NEC) to review its lists of national and provincial candidates. Last week, Mashamba told News24 the committee had concluded its process and handed over the report to the top six.
"As far as we are concerned as the top six we don't have such a report. We will deal with it when it comes. Officially we have no report. I think it's something that they were working on which was leaked."
Mashatile's denial is in stark contrast with acting national spokesperson Dakota Legoete's recent statements to journalists that the report was being processed by the top six.
