African National Congress’s (ANC) fired employee, Carl Niehaus says he believes that he is being targeted by the party for his knowledge on illegal activities related to the non-payment of staff.

This comes after Niehaus confirmed that the party has fired him.

“I have evidence which I believe proves that a crime has been committed. My intention is to make that evidence available to the SAPS and then leave it in their hands to do the right thing and to investigate and to decide whether prosecution should take place or not. To try and intimidate me from taking this action which is in fact a conscientious citizen’s action is unacceptable and I believe that this intimidation against me is also intended to intimidate any other staff members of the ANC who want to follow a similar route.”

The (ANC) fired employee, Carl Niehaus says he will never abide by the party’s instruction that he collect his personal belongings from the party’s headquarters, Luthuli House by end of business on Friday. He says he has seven days to appeal his dismissal from the governing party.

The party has accused Niehaus of sowing division within the party and displaying anti-revolutionary behaviour. Niehaus says he’s being targeted by senior leaders.

“I got no intention to go this morning and collect anything. The ANC will see what they do with whatever are my personal belongings there. I got seven days to appeal to this very unfair, unprocurable, illegal and in terms of the labour law totally wrong dismissal. And I would certainly appeal and also if need be, I will take the matter to court.”
