South Africa: Ruling Party Staff Lock Out Sheriff in Headquarters Showdown
Quick Glance: High Court Sheriff Attempts ANC Asset Seizure Over R102-Million Election Banner Debt
  • The ANC faces legal trouble after blocking the Gauteng high court sheriff from attaching its physical assets.

  • The R102-million debt, plus interest and costs, owed to Ezulwini Investments for election banners and campaign material is at the center of the issue.

  • A writ of execution has been served to attach movable goods like furniture, laptops, and printers.

  • Ezulwini is determined to recover its money as the ANC disregards court processes, even after two judgments in the company’s favor.
