State Security Minister Dipuo Letsatsi-Duba allegedly told Luthuli House that she had no idea that her post on social media accusing secretary general Ace Magashule of tampering with party lists would go viral, ANC spokesperson Dakota Legoete said.
The ANC says the matter between State Security Minister Dipuo Letsatsi-Duba and ANC secretary general Ace Magashule has been resolved after the two met following accusations that Magashule tampered with the party’s national and provincial lists for candidates the party wants to send to the National Assembly and provincial legislatures.
“She knows that she acted irresponsibly. As a state security minister forwarding anything she spreads on social media that has character of misinformation can be very irresponsible.” “Immediately after this story gained traction, the head office wanted to meet her. Luthuli House was under threat out of the misinformation that she purported.”News24 previously reported that there were photos of Magashule circulating on social media with Legoete and several other individuals appearing to be scrutinising documents, which some claimed were the party’s candidate lists. The setting of the pictures led to much confusion and speculation on the location of the gathering.
Lambasting Letsatsi-Duba for making the accusations, Magashule said had she called, he would have given her the full facts.In a statement the secretary general issued last week, he said he was in the offices of the IEC, and was requested to check the electronic version sent earlier against a printout of the list he had brought along with him.
