This is the view of ANC spokesperson Pule Mabe, who suggested that Niehaus, who was fired by the ANC last week, had absconded from work.
“You can't abscond from work and use the fact that you work in the secretary-general's office [as an excuse]. It doesn't work like that,” he said.
He suggested that Niehaus was taking advantage of the legitimate concerns raised by people who committed their time and attention to the work of the party. He also suggested that Niehaus was headhunted for the work he did in Magashule's office. Mabe also suggested that the ANC's financial problems will not affect its local government elections campaign.“You are confusing payroll with resources required to run elections. Elections is a campaign, it is dealt with separately.
“Not being able to deal with payroll does not necessarily mean you don't have resources. It could be that at a certain given time you might not have had sufficient resources to deal with your payroll.”
