This morning the DA laid a charge with the South African Police Service (SAPS) against the ANC over the ruling party’s alleged failure to pay Unemployment Insurance Fund (UIF) contributions to the state.
This follows a claim by disgruntled staffers at Luthuli House that since 2018 the ANC has been deducting UIF contributions from workers but not paying them over to the government. If true, this would constitute a criminal offence in terms of the Unemployment Insurance Contributions Act of 2002 and the Tax Administration Act of 2011.
Ten days ago we wrote to the Minster of Employment and Labour, Thulas Nxesi, and asked him to clarify whether the allegations were true. As the responsible Minister he has a duty to account and to announce what action he intends taking against the ANC if it has violated the law.
