AI Digital Services Company Seeks R36.4m Debt Payment from African National Congress
What happened
Eltel, an AI Digital services company, filed an urgent high court application in Johannesburg seeking R36.4m from the African National Congress (ANC) to cover outstanding principal debt and contractual interest. Eltel warned that the alleged debt threatens the company's continued operations and may lead to liquidation. The application also asks the court to direct the Electoral Commission of South Africa to withhold upcoming public funding allocations to the ANC up to the claim value.
