Gardee, was responding to a question about the DA’s petition to the Electoral Commission of SA (IEC) about the donations for the EFF's campaign.
“Our books are open and audited by parliament, the auditor-general, the SA Institute of Chartered Accountants and our bank accounts are held by white monopoly capital banking institutions,” said Gardee. He was speaking during an interview with Newzroom Afrika’s Athi Mtongana on the sidelines of the party's local government elections campaign in Cape Town’s Langa township on Sunday.
The DA's petition, launched on September 17, calls for the IEC to investigate “the disjuncture between the EFF declaration and their significant campaign expenditure”. “We have got nothing to hide. Our members actually were saying that we should go and get our R15m that we donated to the government for Covid-19 because the elections are going to be very expensive.
“It can’t happen because it was given in good faith and we have to live with constraints of not having money because of the Party Political Funding Bill Act, which we actually warned the ANC and the DA that they will be victims of their own making and they said the EFF has something to hide,” Gardee said.
