With 50 more charges, Magashule gets August court date
ANC secretary general Ace Magashule and his 15 co-accused will face 74 charges of fraud, theft, corruption, money laundering and asbestos contraventions when they appear in the high court in Bloemfontein on August 11.
A raft of new charges were brought against the “asbestos accused” when they appeared in the Bloemfontein magistrate’s court on Friday.
The court set the August date for dealing with pre-trial matters after three more accused were added to the charge sheet. They are Albertus Venter, the head of the legal department in the office of the Free State premier; Thabiso Molikoe, the former chief financial officer of the Free State human settlements department; and Thabiso Makepe, the former chief engineer in that department.
