The decisions of the ANC NEC, as announced by President Cyril Ramaphosa on Monday, appear to mark a crucial defeat for the party’s suspended Secretary-General Ace Magashule.

The ANC’s suspended Secretary-General Ace Magashule may now be caught in a trap after the National Executive Committee (NEC) decided he must apologise for his actions of the last week. At the same time, his allies might be in further trouble after the decision by the NEC to investigate who is responsible for the leaks of its meeting over the past few days.

Ramaphosa was calm, measured and appeared every inch presidential in his address on Monday. Reading from his iPad (from which a charging cable dangled off his desk and presumably went into a charger) he slowly went through the NEC statement. There was no sense of triumphalism — he was careful not to appear to enjoy what must have been a great political moment.

Perhaps the most important aspect of the statement for Magashule was not just that he is suspended, but that the NEC agreed that his “letter of suspension” addressed to Ramaphosa last week “had no authority or mandate from any structure of the movement”.

ANC tells Ace Magashule: Apologise or face disciplinary actionThe ruling party told suspended secretary-general Ace Magashule to publicly apologise for the letter he wrote to party president Cyril Ramaphosa 'suspending' him without the authority to do so.

ANC tells Ace Magashule: Apologise or face disciplinary actionSuspended ANC secretary-general Ace Magashule has been dealt another blow after the party’s national executive committee (NEC) resolved that disciplinary action be taken against him over his defiant behaviour if he does not make a public apology. We are still waiting for him to apologise for killing Marikana miners. I'm just wondering what that DC will be based on or what will the charges be , they must come with some shit like bringing the party into disrepute, or sowing divisions in the party cause that has got nothing to do with sending ramaphosa a suspension letter. Just a matter of five years comrade

EDITORIAL: Power, the glue that kept the ANC together, now slipping out of Ace Magashule’s graspAs the governing party enters an uncertain period of many new crises, an assessment of suspended ANC Secretary-General Ace Magashule’s moves since becoming a national officeholder offers a fascinating opportunity to understand what his prospects are for the future. The ANC is a corrupt political party! If you've money you lead, votes are sold to elect a leader. Not merits or love for the country & it's people! Shame on you who are bought to influence your votes! Look what that has brought you! Strife and derision.
