'Politically motivated' - ANC on Jossey Buthane's arrest over Juju Valley shooting in Limpopo
Jossey Buthane was charged with attempted murder after a shootout in Juju Valley , amid clashes between ANC and EFF supporters.The party suggested Buthane's arrest was politically motivated to hinder ANC 's mobilisation efforts during the election period.
Buthane was the former EFF Limpopo chair, but he ditched the party this year to return to the ANC after clashing with party leader Julius Malema. He has been working with the ANC to win back voters in Limpopo. Two people were shot, including a nine-year-old, after the ANC went campaigning in the area named after Malema.
"The ANC further believes that the case against Cde Jossey is politically motivated and aims to prevent him from mobilising support for the ANC across the province, particularly in the last leg of elections," ANC Provincial Secretary Reuben Madadzhe said."As the ANC in Limpopo, we will continue to monitor the situation as well as the conduct of the SAPS in the manner in which they are dealing with the matter emanating from Juju Valley incidence," Madadzhe added.
