Allegations against Magashule an attempt to deface ANC, says party's Lekgoete
JOHANNESBURG - The African National Congress says that new allegations of rampant corruption leveled against its secretary-general Ace Magashule are an attempt to deface the organisation in the run-up to the May elections.
Magashule allegedly tapped into the proceeds of a contentious R230 million "asbestos audit" deal awarded by his provincial Human Settlements Department in 2014. The ANC's Dakota Legoete says that the party will not answer nor defend corruption and has encouraged Myburgh to report Magashule to the police if the allegations contained in his book are true.
