ANC ordered to pay Ezulwini almost R150m

JOHANNESBURG - The ANC has again been ordered to pay over R100-million for banners for the 2019 elections.

The Supreme Court of Appeal has dismissed its application against Ezulwini Investments.

The party now says it's studying the judgment.

Nine judges in three different courts have now ruled the company had a binding contract with the ANC.

Ezulwini previously sought to seize assets from the ANC after the party refused to pay.

This was despite two judgments in the company’s favour.

The ANC applied to the SCA for leave to appeal that ruling, but the appeal was dismissed.

It reinstated the appeal which was heard in early November.

Judge Trevor Gorven dismissed the appeal, ordering the ANC to pay the costs.

Ezulwini is now owed just R150-million, including legal costs.
