A top businesswoman and socialite has compounded the ANC's headache by demanding R2.2-million for services she rendered to the party as part of last year's local government elections campaign.

Sihle Bolani took her beef with the ruling party to court and demanded that its president Jacob Zuma order his organisation to settle the debt.

Also embroiled in the drama are minister in the Presidency Jeff Radebe, party secretary general Gwede Mantashe, former Gauteng MEC of transport Ignatius Jacobs and ANC activist Shaka Sisulu, whom the public relations company owner accuses of failing to pay what's due to her .

In her multimillion-rand lawsuit against the party, Bolani also made sensational claims of corruption, saying some party officials demanded bribes from her.
