It has also failed to pay provident and pension funds for more than two years.

Mdala said while he was aware that some of his colleagues have not been able to meet their financial obligations, “We subscribe to one of the values of the ANC of selflessness and therefore for the ANC to be able to address the problems of this country, it must have state power and we can only get that state power by campaigning for the elections and win them.

“When you look at the bigger picture, at the end of the day we do not want to think about ourselves only. We must think about others. When you think about others, you consider your situation and say that you are better off than those who are not even employed.”
