The Pan Africanist Congress (PAC) leadership is
expected to announce the name of a senior African National Congress (ANC) MP
allegedly involved in irregularities in the controversial R43-billion arms
procurement deal in a few days' time.
PAC MP Patricia de Lille said the official's
alleged involvement in the arms scandal was uncovered by an investigative
media-led team. The PAC will convene a media conference in Pretoria later today
but is expected to name the official later in the week.
At the end of the party's conference in
Bloemfontein on Sunday, De Lille said the "nation will be shocked when we
make the announcement".
