Former President Jacob Zuma has done nothing wrong – Ace Magashule
ANC secretary-general Ace Magashule sees nothing wrong with former president Jacob Zuma’s defiant stance on not appearing before the Zondo Commission – despite the Constitutional Court ordering him to.
Amid talk that Zuma should be suspended by the ANC for not being willing to answer questions regarding alleged state capture, Magashule told the media on the sidelines of a visit to the home of the late anti-apartheid Struggle stalwart Rebecca Kotane in Diepkloof, Soweto, on Wednesday afternoon: “No, why should we suspend a person who believes in what he believes in?”
Responding to various questions highlighting that the former ANC leader is defying the Constitutional Court, Magashule said: ’’Let’s leave President Zuma alone. What is the problem. What has Zuma done.
’’President Zuma is a South African. He has his own rights, so you can’t ask me to talk on behalf of President Zuma… President Zuma has a right to do whatever he wants to do.
Professor Bheki Mngomezulu, from the University of the Western Cape, told IOL earlier Zuma’s action is a political statement to show people that he believes that the commission and the Concourt were not treating him fairly. He added that the fallout of this decision would be felt even by his party, the ANC.

“This move will further divide the ANC as its members who aligned along existing factions will take different sides on the matter. The divisions will also spill to alliance partners of the ruling party and it will affect leagues like MKMVA,” Mngomezulu said.
