A perusal of the founding affidavit ANC secretary-general Ace Magashule has filed in the high court reveals that success in his case will surely split the ANC into what he calls the “CR17” and “radical economic transformation ” factions, in a way that will be permanent and irrevocable. He seeks to overrule the will of the majority of the ANC national executive committee in a manner that will be hard to sell to any court and impossible to impose on that majority. Here’s why.
The nature of his suspension is most certainly precautionary —he is not being punished; indeed, he keeps his handsome salary and his rank, with only an acting appointee replacing him until the suspension ends, as it will if he is acquitted of the charges he is facing for his role in the capture of the province he once led, the Free State.
This is a pitiful analysis by Hoffman. Ace is facing criminal charges & the principle applies to him. RET is not Ace's or Cyril's. It's an adopted ANC policy. Any attempt by some silly lot to tie it to Ace or some faction is sheer stupidity & utterly divisive. RET is ANC. Got it?
