The ANC has gone on the offensive, and launched an attack on the Sunday Times and City Press newspapers for publishing details of how ANC secretary general Ace Magashule stands accused of rampant corruption, ruthless gangsterism and even exaggerating his struggle credentials.
But Luthuli House has hit back saying it was part of a"carefully planned Stratcom operation" against Magashule and the ANC.
"This Sunday’s continuation of front page lies by these two embarrassing rags should not be given any credibility by responding to their baseless allegations, and the ANC will certainly not do so," he said. However, a former Umkhonto weSizwe operative from the Free State and a former United Democratic Front leader said Magashule was talking nonsense.
Thabo Manyoni, who was the Mangaung mayor at the time, said the two arrived at the Gupta compound in Saxonwold, where the premier introduced him to Atul Gupta as"the person you will be working with".
