'Zuma spy claims are very serious, should not be ignored,' says Ace Magashule
16 July 2019
ANC secretary-general Ace Magashule says claims made by former president Jacob Zuma that former minister Ngoako Ramatlhodi was a spy should not be ignored.
On Monday, Zuma, who appeared for the first time before the judicial commission of inquiry into state capture, named Ramatlhodi as a spy "who was recruited in Lesotho".
Zuma also referred to Ramatlhodi's own comments to the commission in November last year, when he accused Zuma of having "auctioned" the country to the Gupta family.
Ramatlhodi has since denied the allegations, challenging Zuma to a lie detector test.
