Ace Magashule Considering Taking His Fight Against the ANC to the Supreme Court of Appeal

• A political reporter who has spoken to Ace Magashule says he might approach the Supreme Court of Appeal to continue fighting his suspension
• The ANC suspended-secretary general has lost his second lawsuit against the ruling party's decision to suspend him
• Magashule was suspended in May 2021 after he failed to step aside from his position as secretary-general while facing corruption allegations

JOHANNESBURG - Suspended African National Congress secretary-general Ace Magashule might not be done fighting the ruling party for suspending him in May.

Magashule was suspended after he failed to abide by calls that he should temporarily leave his position in the ANC top six until he has been absolved of the corruption allegations levelled against him. He was asked to follow the ANC's step aside resolution that was enacted in 2017.

A political journalist Tshidi Madia says based on conversations with Magashule, he is not prepared to stop fighting his suspension, reports CapeTalk.

Madia stated that she believes Magashule's legal representation is currently taking a close look at the recent judgement before heading to the Supreme Court of Appeal.

Madida added that based on conversations with Magashule he stated that he was prepared to approach the Constitutional Court if need be.

It seems, however, that Magahule's bid to the SCA will be in vain because the Johannesburg High Court's latest ruling in his leave of appeal stated that there is no way a higher court will rule differently in relation to Magashule's suspension, reports News24.
