Elections2019: Magashule book could cost ANC dearly in Free State
Cape Town - Twenty eight parties have registered to contest provincial and national elections in the Free State on 8 May, 12 more than the 2014 polls.While this is not significant in terms of the impact on the top three parties in the Free State - the ANC, the EFF and the DA - analysts say it mirrors the discontent of South Africans at national level.
Van Onselen said there was little evidence to suggest this would be reversed in the upcoming election. It paints a picture of a network, run by Magashule, for almost a decade. Millions of rand of taxpayers money was allegedly stolen - the beneficiaries of the looting allegedly included the Guptas, former president Jacob Zuma and the former provincial premier himself.
He said some of the contents of the book had also been confirmed at the Zondo Commission of Inquiry into State Capture. "Its often individuals who think highly of themselves and are over ambitious like Jimmy Manyi and Hlaudi."
