ANC Secretary General Ace Magashule says he has instructed his lawyers to contact the National Prosecutor’s Office to verify rumors of his pending arrest.
After the media reported that an arrest warrant had been issued against him, Magashule told TimesLIVE on Tuesday night that neither he nor his lawyers had been formally informed of plans to arrest him. The Hawks described the claims as “fake news.”
However, Magashule said that he had heard a rumor that he intended to arrest him.
“For now, my attorneys will contact the NPA for us to verify this. For now, I say there is no need to panic. No need for hollywood [style of arrest] because I am a law abiding citizen. I have not done anything wrong, in my opinion, or illegal, “he said.
When asked what the case was against him, he said: “It seems that Estina [dairy farm] thing I was never involved in. “
He said that no law enforcement agency had interviewed him about any involvement in the matter.
When asked via text message about the reports of the issuance of the order, Hawks spokesman Brig Hangwani Mulaudzi simply replied, “This is fake news.” Speaking, also via text message, with another TimesLIVE reporter, Mulaudzi repeated this stance: “This is fake news … Maybe there are other Hawks we don’t know about.”
Magashule’s lawyer, Victor Nkhwashu, told TimesLIVE on Tuesday night: “We have not been informed about an arrest warrant issued against our client, except for the news article that is circulating in the media.
“Law enforcement officers have not contacted us. But tomorrow we intend to contact them to see if they really plan to arrest our client. “
