Magashule, Zuma may have to face ANC inquiry
ANC secretary-general Ace Magashule and former president Jacob Zuma could soon be hauled before the ANC inquiry set up to probe the alleged role of ANC leaders in the formation of smaller parties ahead of the recent general elections. On Wednesday, Luthuli House confirmed that a special committee, led by former president Kgalema Motlanthe and former speaker of Parliament Frene Ginwala, had been set up to investigate the allegations.
The Motlanthe inquiry has also been empowered to recommend disciplinary action for misconduct against any ANC member should prima facie evidence exist in relation to the allegations against them. “He said this was good as it would create an alternative and he said we should get in touch with the ANC secretary-general Ace Magashule.
Those implicated or appearing in the proceedings of the probe, which will be held in camera, will not be permitted to use legal representation, which is set to force them to appear in person when they are summoned. The inquiry is directed to inform implicated ANC members within a reasonable time after implication and provide them with transcripts of evidence led against them.
