“Let me not enter that space... you see I am worried, I’m considering going the legal route,” said Magashule when asked to comment on the allegations made in Myburgh's book.
He was speaking at the sidelines of a special national executive committee meeting taking place in Irene, Pretoria, on Monday. Myburgh’s book,explores Magashule’s role in the Free State, where he served as longtime ANC chairperson and premier.Myburgh’s book accuses Magashule of using undemocratic means to hold onto power, nepotism, influencing how tenders and contracts were to be awarded.
On Sunday, the ANC released a scathing media statement attacking City Press and the Sunday Times for carrying the stories, calling it a"clearly well coordinated, media attack". The party accused Myburgh of disseminating lies about Magashule. ANC acting spokesperson Dakota Legoete, speaking to journalists after Magashule had completed his door stop, urged Myburgh to take any evidence of any wrong doing by Magashule to the police.
"We can’t be administrators of justice to declare someone innocent or guilty. If Myburgh has any evidence against Magashule, he should approach law enforcement agencies," said Legoete.
