Stop lies NPA political party because Ace was ready since day one so please stop lies

How?

Isn't the NPA equipped to deal with delaying tactics? Every person with money that's their go to strategy. Or maybe it's our court system the issue since our trials seem to really take a century and allowing the delaying tactics...

Nonsense, they (NPA) are the ones that are delaying this case. Magashule is a victim here.

ANC has taken the NPA_Prosecutes into Luthuli house, under ramaphosa 🤡

What about the fact that Ace has always presented himself in court only to be told that the case has been postponed? It has been happening since this asbestos case started. On the contrary it's the NPA that has been dragging its feet.

Ace Magashule has always been ready to have his case heard . But the political party in NPA was instructed to keep on postponing his case so as to prevent him from particing in the ANC elective conference. But racists and clever blacks will disagree. Hope you understand

Legal institutions are also playing politics, dangerous times we are living in

Mpofu's criminals

SABC really now. What rubbish is this now. How does the delay on Ace has to do with Private Prosecution between Zuma vs Ramaphosa? What the hell? Who is the editor of this rubbish and nonsense?

That's not true, it's NPA that is delaying the Ace

The political party called NPA is busy playing politics instead of doing its work and arrest the Money Launderer!

No surprise he learned from the best, from Gedle.
