ancSunday World reports that just days before the start of its all-important national general council (NGC), the ANC head office has failed to pay staff salaries for November.

The non-payment of salaries, confirmed by Luthuli House general manager Patrick Flusk, has raised questions about whether the organisation has money to finance the 1,600 delegates who will attend the NGC mid-term policy review gathering starting next Monday. This is the fourth time this year that the ANC has failed to meet its payroll obligations to its employees at its Joburg-based head office. Livid staff members warned that they would likely boycott the NGC should their salaries not be paid by this coming weekend. This is despite a letter from Flusk seeking to assure employees and debtors that the salary payments would come, without putting a date. Debit orders of ANC workers in Luthuli House have already bounced, some with the potential of penalties when the money eventually reflects in their bank accounts.
