Newsletter| Some members of the pro-Makhado demarcation task team are allegedly demanding huge amounts of cash from senior government officials and ANC leaders in order to allow general elections to take place in the troubled town of Vuwani
Tired of a lagging municipal boundary dispute, Vuwani residents are resorting to using the May 8 polls to get their way
The shutdown was then suspended, allegedly after a businessman in the Vuwani area gave some pro-Makhado members cash. Pro-Makhado’s deputy chairperson, Arnold Mulaudzi, confirmed that the task team had been in “talks” with the ANC at regional level. “We are not going to participate. We are going to boycott this election. We have done so since 2016. Unless we get something from government. We have demanded that the government give us a commitment.”
“I do not know of any bribe money paid to the pro-Makhado group. It is not the story that we can license as the ANC leadership. We never did it with the apartheid government; we are not going do it with a small grouping that assumed authority they do not have,” he said.
