Investigative journalism unit amaBhungane has released a report alleging that certain companies linked to ANC secretary-general Ace Magashule while he was premier of the Free State benefitted from the association, receiving massive contracts and tenders.
Sedtrade was given R1.47 billion out of the Free State department of police, roads, and transport’s R3.3 billion infrastructure budget. The Citizen called Magashule, whose phone was answered by an associate who said the premier would need to read the report and asked us to phone back later. We will update this story with his comment if and when we receive it.
