The suspended ANC secretary-general has accused the NPA of delaying tactics, saying his trial is a political plot
“I’m sure we will give you the indictment and the information they have given to us, and you will clearly see that there is no trial here,” he said.
“It is so intentional to keep us busy, [to] keep us in court all the time. We have been saying we are ready and you can see the delaying tactics. They [the NPA] give people information late. In February they said they will give everybody information within two weeks, now it’s what [month]? And if I did not instruct lawyers to go to court, we were not going to get the information.
“The public must know that this is a political trial. And with time we’ll show you that indeed this was a political trial. It is not going to be a fair trial,” he said. The NPA alleges that this money was requested by Magashule’s former personal assistant, Moroadi Cholota, on his behalf.
