PAN Africanist Congress (PAC) Member of Parliament Patricia de Lille and the party's secretary general Thami Plaatjie have been summoned by the Directorate of Public Prosecutions to fully disclose all information they claim to have on African National Congress (ANC) officials allegedly involved in irregularities in the country’s R43 billion arms deal. 

Plaatjie said that he received the summons this afternoon and would appear at prosecutions director Bulelani Ngcuka's office on Friday.  

He said that the PAC was consulting its lawyers and would make a decision tomorrow on whether or not to release the information.  

De Lille, meanwhile, has stated that she is obtaining legal opinion on the matter and will comment on Thursday.  

Plaatjie told journalists at a press conference this week that the party had the names of at least five senior ANC officials who were involved in irregular activities around the country's controversial arms deal. "Another ANC official will 'fall' in two weeks time," he said.  

However, the party did not release the list of names, saying that after consultation with its lawyers, it decided not to go that route.  

Plaatjie said that the party would release the names once it was able to verify the information in its hands.

Some private investigators and media were given the information to investigate further, Plaatjie told the press conference.
