ANC to lay criminal charges against DA’s Mark Burke

ANC Chief Whip Mdumiseni Ntuli will lay charges at the Cape Town Central Police Station.

The African National Congress (ANC) has announced it will file criminal charges against Democratic Alliance (DA) MP Dr Mark Burke and his company, Kastelo, on Friday. The charges stem from allegations raised by the South African Reserve Bank (SARB) regarding transactions totaling R4 billion. ANC Chief Whip Mdumiseni Ntuli will present these charges at the Cape Town Central Police Station.

The ANC claims this step is necessary to ensure the allegations against Burke are brought before the appropriate authorities and that the facts are accurately determined. While acknowledging the DA's decision to remove Burke from all finance-related positions, the ANC asserts that this action is insufficient. An affidavit from the SARB revealed earlier this week that Kastelo is facing allegations of violating South Africa's financial laws, particularly the transfer of capital across the country's borders and potential breaches of exchange control regulations. ANC demands ethics probe into Burke's alleged misconduct.
