The High Court in Bloemfontein has dismissed applications by the suspended ANC Secretary-General AceMagashule and three others to have corruption charges relating to the R255 million asbestos roof contract against them dropped.

Businessman Edwin Sodi, former Human Settlements director-general Thabani Zulu and former Free State Human Settlements head Nthimotse Mokhesi argued that charges against them were premised on evidence presented before the State Capture Commission of Inquiry.The National Prosecuting Authority has welcomed the judgment, saying it has full confidence in the strength of its case and will let the evidence speak for itself during the trial.

In a report from December last year, Magashule said he also wants the prosecution to disclose the list of witnesses who have implicated him. His lawyers have accused the prosecution of being dishonest about the role of Magashule’s former personal assistant,This was after the state announced that a warrant of arrest will be issued against the US-based Cholota.Public Protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane found that the asbestos roof removal contract was not cost-effective.
