In his founding affidavit filed on Monday, Magashule wrote that Ngqulwana's claims that he helped establish the ATM are 'without any factual basis' and 'completely false'.

Compel Ngqulwana to pay him damages to the tune of R500,000 Direct Ngqulwana to retract his statement and issue a public apology

Interdict Ngqulwana from making any further statements of the same nature - claiming Magashule was involved in the formation of the ATMMagashule insists that the first time he ever knew there was a human being named Ngqulwana was when the Sunday Times reported that he had submitted an affidavit to the electoral court, part of which contained claims that Magashule helped in the formation of the ATM.

"Ngqulwana's allegation is false. The falsity of his statement is worsened when consideration is given to Ngqulwana's statement in the media. Initially, Ngqulwana states in his affidavit that he was 'given to understand' and that he was 'informed' about my alleged involvement in the formation of the ATM.

"However, in the media, Ngqulwana moved from being 'informed' to being the very source of the information," argues Magashule. "In sum, Ngqulwana states as fact what is clearly a hearsay statement that is without a factual basis whatsoever. "Neither does Ngqulwana state where he received the information nor that the information was within his personal knowledge."
