The story: ANC secretary-general Ace Magashule reacted defensively in an effort to deflect questions about Jacob Zuma's defiance of the State Capture Inquiry, saying the former president should not be suspended from the party for what he believes in.
A closer look: Magashule spoke to a huddle of journalists in front of the house of the late SACP stalwart, Rebecca Kotane, in Diepkloof, Soweto, on Wednesday afternoon, where he went to pay his respects.
In quotes: "Leave president Zuma alone," Magashule said when asked about the ANC's reaction to Zuma's statement that he would defy a Constitutional Court order to appear in front of the Zondo Commission.
