Magashule defies Ramaphosa's orders and talks about allegations in journo's book
28 April 2019
ANC secretary general Ace Magashule defied President Cyril Ramaphosa's orders on Saturday when he unwittingly defended himself over allegations labeled against him at an ANC rally.
This follows an instruction by Ramaphosa for the former Free State premier to allegedly desist from using the ANC to defend himself against allegation of corruption contained in the book Gangster State: Unraveling Ace Magashule's Web of Capture.
During the party's Freedom Day celebrations in his backyard of Parys in the Free State, Magashule with some ANC leaders used the platform to refute claims made against him in the book. Speaking to ANC supporters in attendance, Magashule encouraged party supporters to buy investigative journalist Pieter-Louis Myburgh's book saying that it clearly displayed falsehoods against him.
Magashule went on to label Myburgh as racist and a product of apartheid architect Hendrick Verwoerd.
