Magashule brushes off criticism that ANC NEC members did not attend SACP commemoration
6 January 2020
ANC secretary general Ace Magashule has brushed off concerns that top ANC leaders had not attended the SACP's commemoration of Joe Slovo's death, responding to the criticism with a shrug.
Labour federation Cosatu's general secretary, Bheki Ntshalintshali, hit out at the ANC's national executive committee (NEC) during the SACP event, which took place in Johannesburg on Monday.
Ntshalintshali said the ANC had failed to deploy any of its senior members to the communist party's event honouring its former general-secretary.
The ANC has deployed all its members to the Northern Cape ahead of Cyril Ramaphosa's January 8 statement at the weekend.
