Magashule hits out at reckless Letsatsi-Duba over election list tampering claim
Magashule explained that he was tasked in his capacity as the secretary general with submitting the lists to the Independent Electoral Commission of South Africa .
Lambasting Letsatsi-Duba for making the accusations, Magashule said had she called, he would have told her the full facts. "Namely that he was in the offices of the IEC, and was requested to check the electronic version sent earlier with a printout of the list that he had brought along with him. The photo being distributed on social media was taken by a staff member of the IEC, and the lady in the pink shirt in the same photo is an IEC official."Comrade Letsatsi-Duba runs an important ministry.
"This leaves us with no option but to request a public apology from her, correcting the lies that she is peddling."EWN reported that the minister claimed the photos were taken at a hotel room instead of the IEC canteen as some have claimed. "There is no reason for the SG to scrutinise the list at the last hour. He has to explain why he did this and why his people were on the table with him. There is something fishy and we are in the process of verifying the list with the IEC," one source told News24.According to an official in the province, two individuals, a Cosatu leader – Job Dlosi – and an unknown ANC Women's League leader may be cut from the list.
