'I did tell my leadership' - Mokwele says she told EFF leaders about her CR17 money
20 August 2019
Former EFF MP Tebogo Mokwele says she told her party leadership that she received money from accounts allegedly related to the CR17 ANC presidential campaign when the funds were first received in 2017.
News24 reported on Monday that Mokwele and Nkagisang Mokgosi, two EFF MPs, resigned from Parliament and the political party's central command team over money they received from ANC president Cyril Ramaphosa.
Fielding questions from journalist Stephen Grootes on SAFM on Tuesday morning, Mokwele said adamantly that "I did. I did tell my leadership", when she was asked if she declared receipt of the funds to her party leadership at the time the payments were first received.
Grootes then said that begged the question: Why was she resigning now?
