The
Agang's webiste domain appears to be registered under a non-profit
organisation called Great Potential South Africa.This company was
registered with the (CIPC) on December 14 last year. Its directors, all
of whom were appointed on the same day, are listed as Prince Mashele,
Brutas Madala, Moeletsi Mbeki and Mamphela Ramphele. It is not clear yet
as to whether funding for the formation of Agang was channel via the
ngo involved.
Moeletsi
Mbeki is the chairperson of the Forum for Public Dialogue (FPD) and
Brutus Madala a senior researcher. Prince Mashele was CEO of the
organisation until he was suspended by the board of the FPD on January
14 this year following a falling out with Mbeki. It is alleged that
their fallout came after Mbeki was accused of being involved in shady
deals which was reported on the Mail & Guardian early this year.
The
Anc has raised concerns about the manner in which funds were raised to
support Agang. In a statement issued yesterday the Anc said: "This
pronouncement comes after reported fund raising efforts by Dr
Ramphela in foreign countries that include the United States of America.
We just hope that the pumping of foreign funds in South Africa will not
undermine the further democratization and transformation in our
country."
