Deputy President accused of making misrepresentations under oath in battle over 2022 ANC North West provincial conference
An ANC member in the North West taking on the National Prosecuting Authority for refusing to prosecute Deputy President Paul Mashatile for fraud, forgery and perjury. Picture: Phando Jikelo / Independent NewspapersA DISGRUNTLED North West ANC member is set to square off against the National Prosecuting Authority over its decision to decline to prosecute Deputy President Paul Mashatile for fraud, forgery, and perjury.
Makhari said: “Kindly take note that after careful consideration of the facts of the case and having consulted with the investigating officer, I am of the view that there are no prospects of a successful prosecution in the matter.” Molefe’s lawyers explained that they were instituting the review after Makhari’s decision and following Molefe’s complaint lodged in February 2023 at the Mmabatho police station for fraud and forgery.
In his complaint, Molefe said Mashatile deposed an affidavit on the ANC’s behalf before the North West High Court in Mahikeng in which he attached a “purported resolution” of the party’s national executive committee meeting held between July 26 and 29, 2022. Molefe said not only did the nine-month term of the deceased IPC members end in April 2020 while they were still alive, but their ANC membership lapsed when they died.
He added that it was clear from the reading the court documents that Mashatile simply copied the minutes and resolutions of 26 – 29 July 2019 and pasted them in the disputed minutes of the purported minutes and resolution of the meeting held on the 26 – 29 July 2022.
