ANC Secretary-General Ace Magashule has called on members of the party and the public not to march, print posters, T-shirts and placards in his name when he appears in the Bloemfontein Magistrate’s Court, Free State, on Friday.
This follows a meeting of the ANC’s national officials on Tuesday where he briefed them on the summons from the Hawks for him to appear in court.
Magashule briefed the officials about the content of the letter he received from the Hawks, which indicates that he will be charged under Section 34 of the Prevention and Combating of Corrupt Activities Act.
The charges relate to his alleged failure to exercise oversight when he was Premier of the Free State Province.
On Tuesday, the Hawks confirmed that an arrest warrant has been issued for Magashule over the controversial asbestos audit contract in the Free State, now valued at just over R255 million.
