ANC secretary-general Ace Magashule has defended former president Jacob Zuma’s defiant stance towards testifying at the commission of inquiry into state capture.
Speaking to reporters outside the family home of late SA Communist Party stalwart Moses Kotane, Magashule asked journalists what wrong Zuma had done because he did not see fault with the latter’s behaviour.
Magashule insisted that there would be no reason to suspend the former statesman.
Magashule said Zuma “has a right to do whatever he wants to do” and asked: “Why should we suspend a person who believes in what he believes in?”
Zuma’s disrespect for the rule of law cannot and should not be tolerated.
