ANC 'won't dignify' reports linking Zuma, Magashule to ATM
Jacob ZumaJohannesburg - The ANC has distanced itself from reports linking former president Jacob Zuma and ANC secretary-general Ace Magashule to the formation of the African Transformation Movement . Sunday reports suggested that Zuma and Magashule were linked to ATM in an affidavit deposed by South African Council of Messianic Churches in Christ general secretary Buyisile Ngqulwana in his application to the Electoral Court to deregister ATM.
While Duarte said she had not read the affidavit, she said they would look into it after the elections. ANC acting national spokesperson Dakota Legoete said they would not dignify the reports linking Zuma and Magashule to the ATM.“We are confident as the ANC that our mandate is going to be renewed. Now, these ones, we treat them as tabloid. Until after the elections, we can’t entertain anything that will defocus us,” he said.
He is quoted as saying the SACMCC formed the African Transformation Congress , not to contest elections, but its application as a political party was rejected by the IEC because there were many parties that used the word “congress”.
