His comments followed a statement by ANC provincial secretary Bheki Mtolo, who "noted with disgust the use of food parcels by the Gift of the Givers Foundation to boost Inkatha Freedom Party's dismal campaign ahead of a by-election in Ward 12 under uMhlathuze Local Municipality".
"With the majority of communities in Ward 12 having attended, in large numbers, all ANC activities over the past few days, we are seeing unethical and desperate attempts used by the IFP to stifle the ANC's resounding victory," he said.
Mtolo added:
We are currently nursing a hope that the founder of the Gift of the Givers Foundation, Dr Imtiaz Sooliman, will come out clean (sic) and explain the position of his organisation regarding what is happening in Ward 12.
