Explosive evidence against Ace Magashule is expected to be led before the state capture commission of inquiry, chaired by deputy chief justice Raymond Zondo, by former provincial treasurer Mxolisi Dukwana.
ANC secretary general Ace Magashule has had a rough week and it is about to get worse.
“If you go to the Free State, many small black businesses have been destroyed in favour of Ace’s friends and cronies …also who got land in the provincial government’s land reform programmes? My next submission will demonstrate how the province was captured,” he said. The ANC on Sunday issued a statement, signed by Magashule, which described the book as “fake news”. Following the special NEC meeting on Monday, the ANC indicated it would retract the statement but later backtracked due to “legal considerations”. ANC spokesperson Dakota Legoete said a complaint was lodged with the press ombud over weekend reports on the book and the party was advised that retracting its statement may “mean something else”.
Magashule told journalists on Monday that he was considering his legal options to deal with Myburgh’s book and therefore could not comment extensively on it.about whether the allegations contained in the book will be investigated, Hawks spokesman Hangwani Mulaudzi said the unit would “enquire into the allegations that have been advanced”.
ANC deputy secretary general Jessie Duarte told journalists that the commission’s report on the lists “could have an influence”.
