Ferocious tug-of-war under way in ANC
Johannesburg - A ferocious tug-of-war is under way in the ANC, just days before the elections. Party secretary-general Ace Magashule claims organs of State are being used in a titanic battle for the soul of the party.
Bapela believed moves were afoot to target certain senior leaders in order to exclude them from a new, trimmed executive, whose composition is at the heart of the raging tussle. Magashule said he, too, was aware of the plan to raid Luthuli House. “They are trying to intimidate us but we are not scared,” he said.
The Star’s sister paper, The Sunday Independent, reported yesterday that police were probing at least 15 people, including Magashule and Mkhwebane, for alleged involvement in various crimes including murder, money laundering and corruption.
