ANC Secretary-General Ace Magashule is expected to be arrested on Friday

The ANC Secretary-General is expected to be arrested on Friday and appear in the Bloemfontein magistrate’s court.

Ace Magashule faces charges regarding the Free State’s controversial 2013/2014 asbestos audit. It has been coming all the time so I am not worried at all. The struggle continues,” Magashule said.

Some of the charges Magashule may face under the Prevention and Combatting of Corrupt Activities Act (PRECCA) are a failure to report a criminal offence and directly or indirectly accepting gratification for their or another person’s benefit.

His former ally and the former Economic Development MEC in the Free State says he must account for his actions.

Mxolisi Dukwana said President Cyril Ramaphosa has his hands full of undesirables at Luthuli House.

“The ANC needs what the president is pushing, unity, etc. You can’t go for unity at all costs. You can’t have unity with criminals,” he said.

Political analyst Lukhona Mnguni weighed in, saying, “we are coming from a moment where these law enforcement agencies were indeed hollowed out and used as political vehicles in overt ways.

If you look at how some cases were suppressed and some were attempted to be accelerated. So we are not over that era, but I think there has been some cleanup of those agencies.

Magashule maintains he has not done anything wrong as a law-abiding citizen of South Africa.
