ANC spokesperson Dakota Legoete said that after consultation with the party's leadership, it will retract the statement saying that there was an orchestrated media campaign against the party.
CAPE TOWN - The African National Congress says that it will retract the statement it issued in the wake of the allegations of state capture leveled against party secretary-general Ace Magashule in Pieter-Louis Myburgh's book 'Gangster State - Unravelling Magashule's Web of Capture'.
The ANC said that the allegations were an attempt to deface the organisation in the run-up to the May elections. "We have consulted with our leadership as well as the officials of the ANC and I will issue a statement to retract what we have said in that particular matter," Legoete said.
