Ace Magashule appears in court

Roads leading to the high court in Bloemfontein have been closed and security is tight ahead of suspended ANC Secretary General Ace Magashule's appearance today. The court will hear his application to have the corruption charges against him withdrawn.
Magashule and 15 co-accused are facing fraud, corruption and money laundering charges relating to the alleged irregular awarding of a 255-million rand asbestos roof removal contract.
He claims that the case is politically motivated.
