In a veiled threat to naysayers, ANC’s Ace Magashule said he knew everyone’s secrets.

Addressing a large gathering of his supporters who gathered at the Bloemfontein magistrates court for his appearance, Magashule said he will not depart from his role as secretary general of the ANC. He added that the ANC did not belong to any private party.

He turned himself in to the Hawks on Friday morning when he faces 21 counts of corruption, money laundering and fraud related to an R255m asbestos audit tender in Free State.

He appeared in court along with eight others. They are due to return to the pier in February of next year.

Magashule was released on bail of 200,000 rand, surrendered his passport and was told not to contact his former personal assistant, Moroadi Cholota, who became a state witness in the matter.

He made no effort as he claimed to have secrets against his enemies.

“Don’t come to complain, because I can go to each individual and say ‘you did that’. We remain silent because we have discipline,” Magashule said.

He added that the ANC did not belong to any individual.

“The unity of the African National Congress is important. The ANC has been infiltrated. There are those who have been co-opted because even during Apartheid, they were working with Apartheid agents,” he said.
