Campaign controversy: 'ANC didn't yet pay back elections donation', says Survé | itchybyte
Sekunjalo group head Iqbal Survé is waiting for the Western Cape ANC to return R1m after an about-face in which the acting provincial leader ordered the 11th-hour election donation returned due to the probe into the Public Investment Corporation's investment in Sekunjalo.
It is understood to have been R1m although Survé said his finance people handled it and he did not know the amount. The donation was intended to provide food for volunteers and to assist with transport costs in getting voters to voting stations in a last push towards higher polls. However, Survé told News24 that ANC officials had been calling him since the statement was released to apologise and to say they were"appalled" by it.
Survé said he had always supported the ANC, and although he would not say which parties, he also financially supported other parties. He said that as acting party leader in the province he is careful about whose largesse he accepts. He also turned down an invitation by Survé to attend their party at the Cape Town International Jazz Festival. On Tuesday morning he had an urgent discussion with provincial head of elections Ebrahim Rasool, and with Gungubele in his capacity as PIC chairperson.
