ANC secretary-general Ace Magashule has vowed to never leave the party. He said he would only step aside if instructed by party branches at a conference. Magashule said this following his first court appearance in Mangaung where he was granted bail of R200 000 after he was charged with 21 counts of fraud, corruption, and money laundering. The charges are related to the beleaguered R255-million asbestos project in the Free State.
