The postponement is to allow for the conclusion of a Supreme Court of Appeal challenge to overturn a high court ruling.
BLOEMFONTEIN - The corruption case against the African National Congress’ former secretary-general Ace Magashule and 18 others has been postponed to 5 May.
Magashule and his co-accused appeared in the Bloemfontein High Court on Friday, on multiple charges of fraud, corruption, and money laundering. The postponement is to allow for the conclusion of a Supreme Court of Appeal challenge to overturn a high court ruling which dismissed a stay of prosecution application by Magashule and some of his co-accused.
The matter relates to the awarding of a contract by the Free State Department of Human Settlements to a company owned by controversial businessman Edwin Sodi for the auditing and replacement of asbestos roofs from residential homes roughly seven years ago.
