After an unsanctioned endeavour to suspend President Cyril Ramaphosa, Magashule was found guilty of tarnishing the party's reputation, resulting in his expulsion earlier this month.

On May 3, 2021, Magashule was initially suspended when he declined to comply with the party's directive to step aside while facing criminal charges. He also failed to apologise for his attempt to suspend Ramaphosa, despite receiving explicit instructions from the party.

Gadaffi Fifi Mudau said:

"But he said he's still a member of the ANC after he was expelled, now he acts surprised he knew from the start that it's done over."

Khaukanani Malwela commented:

"Ace undermined the leadership of the ANC. It's his time to face the consequences."

Lindelani Mthembu stated:

"Ramaphosa is here to destroy the ANC and the country so he can give it to the DA and Johann Rupert."
