ANC's dirty laundry: Magashule’s attack on State Security minister feels like fake news, but it’s not

when an ANC statement dropped late on Tuesday peppered with words like “shocking”, “reckless in the extreme” and “request a public apology” over “the lies that she’s peddling”. It was attributed to ANC secretary general Ace Magashule and didn’t come through the official ANC media WhatsApp group, email or web site, but it somehow arrived on a WhatsApp group for journalists, possibly via one of the many WhatsApp groups of ANC members and volunteers.

Acting ANC spokesperson Dakota Legoete, who didn’t react to WhatsApp messages and whose phone was off on Wednesday morning, confirmed toon Tuesday that the statement was not fake. Legoete said that Letsatsi-Duba posted a picture of Magashule submitting the ANC lists at the IEC and claimed it was taken in a hotel room instead. Her alleged actions have now led to confusion, with ANC members demanding that the final lists be reviewed, he said. Some even marched to Luthuli House.

The deadline for submitting the lists was a week ago, and Magashule duly went to the IEC’s head offices in Centurion a few hours before the close of business and even invited journalists to witness the submission of the lists.

The statement put the ANC’s dirty laundry out there in the public domain . Fights over election lists are as old as divisions in the ANC itself . All sorts of rumours have been doing the rounds within the ANC about tampering with the lists. Apparently, these started as soon as the lists were in last Wednesday. There is not much public transparency about the compilation of the lists, and distilling a few hundred hopefuls from two camps into a list of about 200 to 300 electables is no mean feat.

carienduplessis When will South Africans realise that they being taken for ride? Suppose after the voting. Then all will cry again.Electricity/water/rates and taxes all go up. Overseas countries want nothing to do with SA business wise. Because of Corruption. But ANC will protect their cadres👎🏼

carienduplessis Looks like old Nick in the flesh.

ferialhaffajee carienduplessis Its such a disgrace that your publication has become such blatant spin doctors for the president. You guys are overplaying your cards. Your senseless defence of ramaphosa will lead to his alieanation from the party he leads. Be careful

carienduplessis Magashule must feel strong to go around “attacking” members of the cabinet. Whence cometh such strength? ANC

ferialhaffajee carienduplessis It is however mischievous to state “Ramaphosa’s Minister”🤔but I guess the story would lack its juice, right 🤔

RaymondSuttner carienduplessis The walking wounded have officially mounted a fight back.

carienduplessis That attack have a lot of venom behind it, not to defend but to kill to conceal corruption. Ace is as corrupt as hell, just wait more is coming about him.

carienduplessis Skullduggery if the highest order. I hope CR has top intelligence information and a plan to sort out these scenarios. DD, Ace or anther Zuma in charge would sound the death knell for SA. Personal preservation trumps party and country.

carienduplessis Crayfish in the bucket ,,,, they deserve each other
