ANC president Cyril Ramaphosa has described the failure to pay party staff as a “sore point” that keeps him awake at night.
The ANC has been battling to pay employees' salaries on time, sometimes leaving staff unpaid for two consecutive months.
“This is a sore point for all of us, for me as well, that funding of the ANC has run into headwinds, has run into challenges and problems due to the laws that we have passed,” Ramaphosa said on Wednesday evening. He was speaking in his capacity as ANC president in a media engagement session after the launch of the party’s election manifesto on Monday.
Ramaphosa said he was thankful to staff who despite going without salaries for months continue working for the party, especially ahead of the elections.
