ActionSA demands answers from the IEC on ANC debt, EFF and MK party funding discrepancies and is seeking legal action on the commission.
Published 4h agoActionSA has announced its intention to take legal action against the Independent Electoral Commission over what it describes as a"flip-flop" on the Commission's initial commitment to investigate a debt settlement agreement involving the African National Congress and Ezulweni Investments.
Beaumont said that the IEC recently took several political parties, including the ANC, to court for failing to submit audited financial statements.Despite the court imposing a fine of R40,000 on these parties, ActionSA spent double that amount to achieve a clean audit outcome for three consecutive years.
The settlement, which was confirmed in December 2023, involves a debt that should have been significantly higher than R150 million, given the market-related interest from 2019. The settlement would have required at least ten donors to be disclosed, yet no such disclosures occurred, Beaumont said. Beaumont also stressed the importance of administrative law principles, which require that the exercise of public power by the IEC be subject to scrutiny.
