Johannesburg - The Democratic Alliance (DA) on Thursday laid a criminal complaint against the African National Congress (ANC) and the party's women’s league for receiving money from entities linked with alleged corruption in the Gauteng Health Department.

The "donations" were made from 2006 to 2009 during the tenure of Brian Hlongwa as Gauteng Health MEC.

Speaking after laying the complaint, DA Gauteng member of the provincial legislature Jack Bloom said a forensic audit report by the Anti-Corruption Task Team (ACTT) shows "payments/donations" to the ANC Women's League of R130 000, R40 000 to Friends of the ANC and more than R700 000 to the ANC.

He said the report describes the payments, which had no supporting documents, as being of a "questionable nature".

Bloom said the ACTT report was part of an application by the National Director of Public Prosecutions in July 2014 against 3P Consulting and Hlongwa to seize assets suspected to be the proceeds of crime in dealings with the Gauteng Health Department.
