A Johannesburg travel agency is demanding over R6.3-million from the ANC Women's League for unpaid debt.
Atlantis Corporate Travel (ACT), which is based in Sandton, Johannesburg, applied for a default judgment at the South Gauteng High Court against the ANCWL for its failure to pay R6322600.03.
The company filed the lawsuit after the league failed to pay and ignored its letters of demands.
A default judgment is one sought against a party who fails to defend a claim that has been brought by another party, and does not dispute the claim or amount claimed.
ANCWL split on Dlamini-ZumaThe ANC Women's League leadership is accused of bullying its members into supporting Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma as their presidential candidate.
ANCWL spokeswoman Fundi Skweyiya said the matter had not been brought to her attention and she needed to consult the league's leadership before commenting.
ACT chief executive Andrea Michael did not respond to requests for comment, and the company's lawyers said they had been instructed not to comment on the matter yet .
According to its website, ACT provides flight and car hire bookings, employee leisure travel and visa assistance, among others, for its clients.
This is not the first time an ANC affiliate has been hauled before court for unpaid millions.
In November 2013, the ANC Youth League was provisionally liquidated after Bloemfontein company Z2 Presentations' six-year battle for a R17-million payment.
Z2 Presentations organised the ANCYL's April 2008 national conference, which elected Julius Malema as ANCYL president, at the University of the Free State's Bloem campus.
The ANCYL was billed R7.7-million, but the figure had doubled by the end of 2013.
The liquidation was withdrawn in March 2014 after the ANCYL agreed to settle its debt.
