JOHANNESBURG – Free State African National Congress (ANC) members on Monday called on the party’s secretary-general Ace Magashule to account for allegations against him.
They protested outside Luthuli House calling on the party to take action against officials implicated in corruption.
They were there to raise their concerns over the failed asbestos and Estina dairy farm projects.
The ANC members believe that the former premier played a role in the failed Estina and asbestos projects. They said Magashule should be held accountable for the missing millions.
One of the protesters Deon Leeuw explained: “The former premier, with every claim that has been made against [you] in relation to those issues, can you account?”
They want other implicated senior members to be brought to book.
They said they supported the state capture commission, which has been hearing testimony on both projects.
