'Hands off' Magashule - ANC in response to 'well coordinated media attacks'
JOHANNESBURG - The ANC on Sunday hasted to the defence of its secretary general Ace Magashule after he was accused in media reports of rampant corruption and heading a well-organised state capture network, among other things.
"As the ANC we have openly acknowledged where we have made mistakes and have set ourselves the task of resurrecting the ANC. We have therefore taken it on the chin when the media and other opponents of the ANC have deliberately sought to attack certain leaders of the ANC and spread doubt about the unity of purpose of the leadership.
"The latest salvo is a clearly well coordinated media attack in today’s Sunday Times and City Press on our secretary general comrade Ace Magashule.
