Staunch Magashule supporter Carl Niehaus is among a group of supporters who have also arrived, chanting revolutionary songs outside court.

Magashule, ten others and five companies are facing charges relating to the alleged irregular awarding of the R255 million asbestos roof removal tender in the Free State in October 2014.The pre-trial hearing was postponed in June pending the finalisation of his application for leave to appeal a judgment which dismissed his bid to have charges against him dropped.Magashule has since vowed to fight to the bitter end to have his name cleared.

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.
