Malamulele - Former Eskom boss and ANC MP, Brian Molefe has defended the ANC leadership, saying the recent character assassination of some ANC leaders was no different to the burning of suspected witches at the stake.
Molefe was speaking at an unveiling ceremony of the tombstone for the late Minister of Public Service and Administration, Collins Chabane.
Chabane was killed in 2015 in a car crash along with two of his bodyguards on their way from Polokwane in Limpopo to Tshwane.
Molefe said character assassination was resurfacing in the organisation, where ANC members were targeting one another and attempting to eliminate each other without evidence.
He said suspected witches were previously also burnt at the stake without proof.
Molefe did not say who he felt was being targeted, but went on to defend the ANC leadership.
