ANC secretary general Fikile Mbalula has acknowledged that he is among ANC officials whose salaries remain unpaid. ANC secretary general Fikile Mbalula has revealed that he is among the employees whose salary payments at Luthuli House remain outstanding, but insists the issue has been resolved and staff no longer plan to protest over unpaid wages. “Non-payment of staff has been attended to and has been resolved as we speak.
There was an intention to protest given the issue of salaries, but that matter has been attended to,” Mbalula told reporters during a media briefing on Sunday. “The component of staff that is not paid is management, starting with me, the secretary general,” he added. Mbalula was providing an update on preparations for the ANC’s 5th National General Council (NGC), which will run from December 8 to 12, 2025.
“All our staff below have been attended to in terms of salaries. We are working on resolving this issue through our rigorous fundraising efforts to ensure that our staff bill is settled,” he said. Mbalula revealed that the ANC’s salary bill amounts to roughly R20 million per month.
