Zuma allies under scrutiny as police probe Magashule, Mkhwebane
Police are investigating ANC secretary-general Ace Magashule, Public Protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane and other high-ranking officials for their alleged involvement in various crimes including murder, money laundering and corruption.
Intelligence sources said the police paid Magashule a surprise visit at his Luthuli House office on Tuesday and took a statement from him. “The investigation was finalised. The Pierneef painting has been recovered and was handed over to the office of the premier. The case was forwarded to the Director of Public Prosecutions for decision,” said the premier, according to a statement released by Jankielsohn at the time.
It is understood that Fraser, who is now the country’s prisons boss, was being investigated for his alleged role in the looting of a SSA slush fund. “I know Arthur is meeting with his lawyers over the weekend to respond to the bank and make it clear that they are going to challenge the closure of his account,” said the source.
“It is the first time I hear that they plan to do that. But... I had information three months ago that apparently they are still trying to find a way of charging me with something,” said Mkhwebane, adding that the motive was to “cause confusion”.
