The African National Congress (ANC) has written to staff members on Thursday saying the party was still unable to pay outstanding salaries.
In a letter, ANC general manager Febe Potgieter-Gqubule informed staff the party would not pay their salaries for September, in addition to the outstanding salaries for July and August.
“This is to indicate that we are not yet in a position to pay outstanding salaries for July and August 2021. Unfortunately, September 2021 salaries, due on the 25th of this month, are also delayed,” Potgieter-Gqubule said.
She added that the ANC has been scrambling to raise money for the elections, with the country set to go to the polls on 1 November.
“We are in a challenging position where we have to also raise resources for local government elections, and budgets for elections have been reduced to an absolute minimum,” the statement concluded.
It promised to communicate updates around the situation when there are any.
