Former Ruling Party Secretary-General Unfazed by Expulsion

Former African National Congress (ANC) secretary-general Ace Magashule says he is unbothered by his expulsion from the ruling party, reports IOL. Magashule, who was contacted by IOL, said over the phone: “I’m fine. I saw breaking news on social media and television about my expulsion. I’m OK. I’m not perturbed.” Magashule had been found guilty of bringing the party into disrepute following his unsanctioned attempt to suspend President Cyril Ramaphosa, News24 reports. Magashule was initially placed on suspension on May 3, 2021, after he refused to abide by the party’s instructions to step aside while he was criminally charged, and when he failed to apologise for attempting to suspend Ramaphosa. This is the first time that a former secretary-general of the party has been expelled for misconduct.
