in his hometown, Parys, Free State, on Wednesday, an unrepentant Magashule was in good spirits and said the decision to suspend him was political, vowing that it would be revealed in court.
According to papers filed at the High Court last month, Magashule has asked that his unilateral suspension of President Cyril Ramaphosa be declared valid and effective until lawfully nullified, and the governing party’s instruction – that he apologise for issuing the letter purportedly suspending Ramaphosa – to be found to be unlawful and unenforceable.
”The real motive behind my being purged is the desire to remove me, by hook or crook, from the all-powerful position of secretary-general, so that the road to the re-election of President Cyril Ramaphosa and his faction in the next conference is made easier,” he states in his affidavit. However, Magashule has described the charges against him as an “oddity if not a downright absurdity” and that at meeting he attended the ANC national officials “unanimously and correctly” came to the conclusion that they were frivolous and unsustainable.
In its response to Magashule, the ANC stated that its national working committee was satisfied it was in its best interest to suspend persons facing charges of corruption and other serious crimes. Former ANC KwaZulu-Natal deputy chairperson Mike Mabuyakhulu and a member of its national executive committee, Mduduzi Manana, have also filed affidavits in support of the party’s case against Magashule.
We all know the outcome
Wasn't he charged for failure of oversight?
…having appeared before both Judge Weiner & Judge Molahlehi before, I cannot wait for the judgement and as much as i despise Ace Magashule, I think he might win this one.
Can't wait! Drama-filled 48 hours.
'Corruption-accused'? Lol! Wow
