The Democratic Alliance said it would lay criminal charges against the ANC on Monday for allegedly receiving the proceeds of criminal activity.
DA national spokesperson, Solly Malatsi, said on Sunday that it emerged last week that “the ruling party accepted a R250 000 donation from the embattled VBS Mutual Bank.”
“There have also been reports that a Luthuli House employee, Errol Velile Present, has been arrested for his alleged involvement in three cash-in-transit heists,” he said.
Malatsi said, “it has now become evident how deep the rot of corruption in the ANC truly is”.
He said this was why theDA was bringing criminal charges so that a full and thorough investigation can be conducted.
“It is important that we get to the bottom of whether the ANC is in direct violation of Section 6 of the Prevention and Combating of corrupt activities Act which relates to the acquisition, possession and use of proceeds of unlawful activities,” Malatsi said.
