GangsterState: DA slams ANC for defence of Ace Magashule
CAPE TOWN - The DA on Monday said the ruling ANC's summary rejection of Gangster State, a new book with allegations of systematic state corruption in the Free State under Ace Magashule, made a mockery of President Cyril Ramaphosa's promise of a political "new dawn".
The ruling party responded by defending Magashule, who is the ANC secretary-general, and calling the book fake news reminiscent of Stratcom tactics, a reference to a group within the apartheid government specifically tasked with carrying out disinformation campaigns. "Nothing has changed in the ANC. The ANC of Ramaphosa is the very same ANC of Zuma. South Africans are seeing the ANC return to its old ways. The New Dawn is practicing old tricks," he said.
