The South African judiciary system and law enforcement agencies are called upon to be impartial when dealing with fraud and corruption cases against former Free State premier Ace Magashule.
A group of ANC members in the Free State, calling itself the Radical Economic Transformation Forces, pledged its support to former premier and now ANC Secretary-General ahead of his court appearance on Friday.
Magashule is on Friday expected to face 21 charges of fraud, corruption and money laundering relating to the controversial asbestos deal worth R250 million. He is said to have failed to play an oversight role in the implementation of the failed project that was supposed to see the removal of asbestos roofs in the province.
