Aggrieved ANC staff members who brought criminal charges against National Office Bearers of ANC now also filing a complaint with the Public Protector
15 October 2021
The aggrieved ANC employees who formally laid criminal charges of theft, fraud, corruption, and various statutory crimes, against the National Office Bearers (NOB’s) of the ANC, will now - in addition to those charges - also proceed with filing an official complaint with the Public Protector in terms of Section 6(1) (a) of the Public Protector Act of 1994.
This complaint concerns the failure of government agencies that are in terms of legislation responsible for regulating the Provident Fund, PAYE etc. to act against the ANC. It is of serious concern that these government agencies have not taken up the matter of the ANC having, for an extended period of time, made deductions from employees salaries, but not having paid over the deducted monies to the relevant government institutions. It is inconceivable that these government agencies have not been aware of such criminal acts by the ANC.
All media are invited to witness the formal filing of the complaint to the Public Protector which will be done in person at 11:00 on Monday, the 18th of October 2021, at Public Protector House in Hillcrest, Pretoria. Once the official compliant has been filed, the employees involved will make their complaint document available to the media, and address the media outside Public Protector House. The media will also be briefed about progress regarding the criminal case against the ANC, which is being closely monitored and dealt with as a priority case by The Hawks.
