The DA leader along with DA Free State premier candidate Patricia Kopane headed to the National Prosecuting Authority’s office in Pretoria yesterday to hand over “evidence” proving the corrupt activities by former Free State Premier and ANC secretary general Ace Magashule. “I am one of the persons who opened criminal charges against Magashule and had meetings with the NPA and submitted dossiers. It is fortunate that [Myburgh] wrote the book but the DA has done most of the work to expose the rampant corruption,” she said.
But Maimane denied grandstanding ahead of the national general elections next Wednesday, saying South Africans had to make a choice whether to vote for corruption or not. The last time the party handed over evidence, the NPA was headed by Shaun Abrahams, who delayed in investigating, Maimane said.
