How to capture a province: New book lays bare Ace Magashule’s Free State fiefdom

convincingly makes the case that Ace Magashule is not just corrupt – deeply, spectacularly corrupt – but also potentially dangerous.

When Myburgh went looking for the relevant police record, he found it had gone missing – as have the records from a 2008 judicial inquiry into Ngombane’s murder. Magashule became ANC provincial chair in 2002, but Myburgh records that his dubious history pre-dates that election. A number of Magashule’s supposed comrades from that era told Myburgh they had never heard of him before the unbanning of the ANC.

To give one example: Before Mangaung in 2012, ANC Free State had “somehow recruited almost 45 000 new Free State members in just six months” – which enabled the province to send more delegates to the ANC’s electoral conference. Myburgh was informed by several sources that there were effectively no tender processes followed to determine which companies got contracts to build houses – instead, Magashule hand picked the favoured companies.

Writes Myburgh: “While [Magashule’s] daughter’s company made millions, these people are now left with substandard houses and no water, flushing toilets or electricity”.

becsplanb It is clear from this that the key facilitator in StateCapture is TreasuryRSA and its provincial, municipal counterparts as SupplyChain mgnt, tenders, etc its mandate via the PFMA , MFMA; unfortunately the media has put a halo around this department and its ministers

New corruption allegations against Ace MagashuleA new book paints an unflattering picture of ANC secretary general Ace Magashule, with leaked emails and other documents implicating him in the alleged diversion of funds from a massive government contract in the Free State, possible links to the gunning down of a Sandton businessman two years ago, and instructing former Manguang mayor to 'work with' Atul Gupta. This guy is corrupt, but according to South African law that protects ANC, He is not guilty until proven otherwise. Deep down he knows that these allegations are true. For a fact ' ayinuki ingosiwanga' BS... Tired of this. Ace told y'all the ANC will move forward and implement its own resolutions and two days later he's all over the news with fictional books being sold to the gullible. You guys can't fool all the people...all the time. This is just calculated politicking its nothing to do with journalism....however this is not going to stop us we are ANC and ANC is us...MYANC

ANALYSIS: The dawning of the Age of Ace – sort of, kinda, maybeWhen trying to examine the situation in the ANC to determine which groups, and their policies, are gaining traction and which are weakening, it is always important to look at particular personalities anchoring those groupings. And it appears that party Secretary-General Ace Magashule may have gained some ground of late. StephenGrootes To say that African grassroots political support for African leaders, interpreted by an Apartheid fattened White journalist is a perplexing job, would be an understatement of the year.
