ANC treasurer-general Paul Mashatile has confirmed the party is auditing its employees and has found a number of ghost workers on its payroll

ANC treasurer-general Paul Mashatile says ANC officials have agreed that the party's salary bill is unsustainable. File picture: MASI LOSI.

The party was also in arrears by at least 28 months — about R140m — on its provident fund. All of these were, however, deducted from salaries, according to staffers. “We then took a decision to wait until the situation gets better because that report basically points to the fact that we need to cut down on staff and we just felt it was not the right time to do that, so we delayed the report. We have now revised it and officials have agreed that our salary bill is unsustainable,” he said.

Sunday Times reported that one of the biggest reasons for the ballooning salary bill was the secretary-general’s office, which employed about 20 people, more than double the number before Ace Magashule took office. The presidency is said to have about 10 on the payroll. “We all have to take the blame for it, all leaders have agreed. So there will be no holy cow that his office must not be touched. We are looking at all offices from the presidency [down].”
