Ramaphosa closing statement on NEC delayed as meeting descends into chaos on Magashule fate
The ANC's national executive committee (NEC) virtual meeting descended into chaos on Sunday evening after it was proposed that Ace Magashule and other leaders charged with corruption have seven days to step aside or face suspension.
Insiders said Ramaphosa’s closing address, meant to be televised on Sunday evening, was delayed after it was proposed that there be a vote on the matter amid chaos.
The meeting was adjourned late on Sunday for the party’s top officials to discuss the matter and come back with a solution, sources said.
Supporters of Magashule fought back against the move that he and those facing criminal charges be given the boot through a seven day ultimatum.
The ANC integrity commission presented their report to the meeting on Sunday where they recommended that Magashule step aside pending the outcome of his corruption case.
