Suspended ANC secretary-general Ace Magashule has told the Free State High Court that he objects to the corruption, fraud and money laundering charges he faces.
Judge Musi asked prosecutor Johan de Nysschen: “Why are you not prepared to give a list of witnesses implicating accused number 13? Is there any objection to giving the list of witnesses implicating accused number 13?”
“We hope we are going to have a fair trial. I am ready to get into the box because in the box I will talk about some of the things that I cannot talk about right now,” he said.”I have never in my life been involved in corruption,” he said. He also urged his supporters to vote for the ANC in the November 1 local government elections.
Magashule is accused of instructing Mpambani and his company Diamond Hill Trading 71 to make payments totalling more than R1.1m between June 2015 and January 2016. The National Prosecuting Authority said the payment amounted to abuse of a position of authority, breach of trust and/or violation of his legal duty or a set of rules.
