The ruling African National Congress (ANC) of South Africa has ordered its secretary-general, Ace Magashule, and cadres to step aside or be suspended.
The Secretary-General is one of the officials of the ANC implicated for corruption dating back to the presidency of Jacob Zuma.
The ANC in a statement issued on Tuesday afternoon, May 4, 2021, indicated that it had “reaffirmed the decision” that all officials implicated and charged with corruption or other serious cases need to step aside within 30 days.
The statement revealed that ANC’s national working committee (NWC) met on Monday, May 3, 2021, to discuss several matters, including rules adopted in late March regarding officials stepping aside while implicated in corruption or other serious crimes.
This was after Magashule – and several other implicated cadres – earlier noted that they would not abide by the step aside rule.
The statement, however, did not mention names of cadres to be suspended.
The step aside guidelines were finalized and announced by President Cyril Ramaphosa over 30 days ago.
As African Entertainment reported a few months ago, Ace Magashule has been standing trial for his alleged role in some purported corrupt deals.
