Constitutional Court dismisses appeal of suspension

GAUTENG – The Constitutional Court has dismissed Corruption-accused Ace Magashule’s application to appeal his suspension as the ANC’s secretary-general. In a short judgment, the apex court said Magashule had no prospects of successfully appealing his suspension. This is yet another court bid he has lost on the matter. Magashule was suspended from the ANC in May 2021, in line with the party’s step-aside rule, after failing to voluntarily vacate his position because of his legal challenges.
