Sheriff raids Luthuli house to assess properties for confiscation
SHARE POST:
Luthuli House, the headquarters of the ANC, experienced heightened activity on Monday morning as the Sheriff of the court arrived. This development followed events company Ezulweni Investments attaching the ANC’s accounts and physical assets in an attempt to recover over R100 million.
Ezulweni confirmed to News24 that a writ of execution had been served on the ANC, leading to the Sheriff attaching the party’s bank accounts and assets. The Gauteng High Court Sheriff descended on Luthuli House, seeking assets after Ezulweni Investments took this action to recoup the outstanding debt owed by the ANC for services rendered during the 2019 election campaign.
A Sheriff’s truck was observed outside the ANC headquarters in Johannesburg, although no assets were removed from the building. According to a security guard on-site, the truck arrived early on Monday, and the Sheriff entered the building, staying for a while before departing without taking anything.
Peter Fernando from Ezulweni expressed determination to recover the money owed by the ANC, criticizing the party for not respecting the court judgment. The writ of execution details the attachment of movable goods at Luthuli House to realize R102,465,000, with specified interest rates for different periods.
The notice of execution, revealing assets from desks to lounge suites, was catalogued by the Sheriff, who did not physically remove the items. The Supreme Court of Appeal had previously dismissed the ANC’s appeal against a High Court judgment, affirming the party’s responsibility for the outstanding amount owed to Ezulweni. ANC spokesperson Mahlengi Bhengu-Motsiri was not available for immediate comment.
