Jessie Duarte’s family dismisses Ace Magashule’ claims she ‘kept secrets’ about ANC | City_Press
Her brother Abbas Dangor said people should not use her name to advance their own agendas. Dangor was responding to reports that Duarte had divulged some secrets to Magashule, which he said he would reveal soon.
He said some people may want to use this as an opportunity to besmirch her name or use it to advance their own agendas.Speaking during a visit to Duarte’s home this week, Magashule said: “Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to [visit her] and she passed away. Perhaps in the coming weeks, I can take some of the things she said and allow them to come out. With respect to the dead, you don’t actually say some of the things she said in confidence. She said ‘please keep some of these. These are the secrets of the movement. If these secrets come out, there is no more ANC’.”
He said Duarte and her then husband John took him and his brother Zane when they were 11 and nine years old. “They didn’t have much but shared everything with us. I know the sacrifices they made to raise myself, Zane and her kids Zoe Whitley and Yusha Duarte.
