WATCH | Show me one leader of the ANC who hasn't done business with the state - Ace MagashuleANC secretary-general Ace Magashule has deflected attention from criticism that his sons were benefitting from state tenders. He insisted there was no law halting his sons from doing business with the state, and if it were to be introduced, he would not be opposed to it.

He told News24, during a sit down interview on Thursday, that no such decision was ever taken by the ANC since coming into power in 1994. He further explained that there were many other leaders in the party who had also done business with the state."Tell me of one leader of the ANC, who has not done business with government... you are looking at [just] government; [other] people are working with banks," said Magashule without mentioning names.

Madzikane II Diko, the husband of President Cyril Ramaphosa's spokesperson Khusela Diko, and national executive committee member Nomvula Mokonyane's daughter Katlego Mokonyane both scored tenders with Gauteng's health department; while a relative of the deputy minister in the presidency Thembi Seweya received an R800 000 contract from Limpopo health.
