ANC Limpopo treasurer Danny Msiza and former Vhembe Municipality mayor Florence Radzilani have been on suspension since 2018 after they were fingered in the R2billion looting scandal. VBS

Magashule was addressing the media on Wednesday on the outcome of the ANC national executive committee's virtual meeting which took place over the weekend.

Magashule said the party resolved to lift the suspensions as Msiza and Radzilani had not been among those charged by law-enforcement agencies, despite their names appearing in the VBS report which was commissioned by the SA Revenue Service. He said the implication of the two leaders in the report did not mean they had to remain on suspension adding that the national leadership would be engaging its Limpopo structures to explain the decision.

Magashule said the ANC NEC welcomed the suspension of 14 ANC councillors who were accused of taking part in the looting of food that was being distributed to communities as part of Covid-19 relief efforts.
