After spending four months in US prisons, former Free State premier Ace Magashule's former personal assistant, Moroadi Cholota, who is allegedly linked to a R255m corruption case, fought not to spend an hour longer in custody when she made her first appearance at the Bloemfontein magistrate's court on Monday to apply for bail.

Die gewese ANC-sekretaris-generaal, Ace Magashule, sê sy voormalige persoonlike assistent, Moroadi Cholota, word soos ʼn terroris behandel. Sy is Donderdag uit Amerika gedeporteer. Die staat beweer Cholota was betrokke by die asbes-korrupsiesaak van 255 miljoen Suid-Afrikaanse rand omdat sy na bewering namens Magashule geld by sakelui gevra het. Sy verskyn na verwagting vandag in die Bloemfontein-landdroshof. Magashule sê hy is onskuldig:

In this interview with BizNews, Roy Jankielsohn, the Democratic Alliance (DA) leader in the Free State, gives an update on political developments in the province. He expresses the hope that with the arrest - and impending extradition from the US - of Ace Magashule's former PA, that there will be convictions for corruption. He also details the findings of a Public Protector's report into the R6-million funeral for an MEC, in which a cap on State funerals is recommended. Another cause for optimism is the way national political developments have impacted the province's politics where, for the first time since 1994, opposition parties have received chairpersonships of committees within the Free State Legislature. However, a huge concern remains cross-border crime, including human trafficking , drug smuggling, cattle rustling, and vehicle smuggling. But Jankielsohn has faith that the appointment of crime fighter Ian Cameron as Chair of the Portfolio Committee on Police in Parliament, will lead to improvements in law enforcement.

A US court has granted permission for Moroadi Cholota, the former assistant to former Free State premier Ace Magashule, to be extradited to South Africa. Cholota faces corruption charges connected to a R255 million asbestos contract.

Reneilwe Morema reports on a leaked Whatsapp conversation between ANC General Secretary Fikile Mbalula and Musician Papa Penny. In the leaked Whatsapp conversation, Fikile Mbalula threatens Papa Penny from performing at an MK rally in Soweto. Papa Penny said he doesn't take these threats lightly, and his resignation stems from years of being mistreated by the ruling party, and these recent threats are just the icing on the cake. This is not the first time Mbalula threatens an artist, he once threatened Kwaito Star for branding his phalanx vehicles in ANC colours in support of dismissed former ANC secretary Ace Magashule. It seems the ANC is hellbent in staying in power, even if it means threatening and bullying it's citizens. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/africandiasporanews/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/africandiasporanews/support

Former ANC secretary-general Ace Magashule on Friday announced that his party, the African Congress for Transformation, had joined forces with the Jacob Zuma-backed uMkhonto weSizwe and other "like-minded" parties ahead of the 2024 general elections. He was speaking in Pietermaritzburg as the ACT kick-started its three-day awareness campaign in KwaZulu-Natal. Some say the move could further dilute support for the ANC which is facing its toughest electoral challenge in this year's national elections. We spoke to Political Analyst, Sandile Swana ....

The year 2024 is expected to be a busy political year for South Africans. Not not only will 30 years of democracy be celebrated, they will also take part in what some dubbed the most contested elections, since 1994.  With campaigning already in full swing, most political parties will soon launched their election manifestos. The country's courts will also see many political figures, this year. The trails of ex- president Jacob Zuma and expelled ANC Secretary General and President of the African Congress Transformation (ACT), Ace Magashule will also go ahead.

In a wide-ranging conversation with ‘Sunday Times Politics Weekly', EFF leader Julius Malema shared his views on the upcoming elections, and possible coalition permutations. Malema says he won't join any coalition in which Cyril Ramaphosa or John Steenhuisen are potential presidents. However, he did speak of his willingness to work with deputy president, Paul Mashatile, whom he acknowledged he had a soft spot for. Malema also addressed the willingness of the party to accept former ANC secretary-general Ace Magashule who, like himself, had been expelled from the party. Malema also reflected among other things on: the party's overall growth ahead of their 10 anniversary celebrations in July, his stance on the impending visit by Russian President Vladimir Putin, the recent passing of the NHI Bill, corruption allegations levelled against him, his past actions and their impact on how the public see him, and the party's views of the commemoration of Youth Day in the present day.

In this gripping interview, the Democratic Alliance's provincial leader, Roy Jankielsohn, exposes how state capture was “perfected” in the Free State under former premier Ace Magashule. He says the textbook for state capture was written in the province. “And Jacob Zuma was merely a student who read that textbook and implemented it at a national level, obviously using companies and individuals, including the Gupta brothers. But they started their empire in the Free State,” Jankielsohn says. Don't miss this eye-opening account of corruption, mismanagement, and its lasting consequences in the Free State.

In a wide-ranging conversation with ‘Sunday Times Politics Weekly', ANC secretary-general Fikile Mbalula speaks on the ANC, his predecessor Ace Magashule who faces possible expulsion from the party, and Russian President Vladimir Putin. Mbalula reflected on his tenure as party SG and assessed the ruling party under the leadership of President Cyril Ramaphosa. He said voter frustration gave him the impression support for the ruling party could be as low as 30% ahead of next year's general elections, but says the party has not discussed coalitions. The episode is hosted by Sunday Times reporter Kgothatso Madisa, and produced by Bulelani Nonyukela.

Linda van Tilburg interviewed political analyst Dr Piet Croucamp about his take on the 55th ANC elective conference and reports on an interesting angle: the party is so divided and perceived as so untrustworthy by many South Africans that it may be lucky even to garner 50% of the votes in the 2024 national election. Given that realisation, ANC stalwarts realise that Ramaphosa will still be their best bet to try to prop up the ailing structure – but the threat from the alienated RET faction and Ace Magashule still remains.

Die DA in Suid-Afrika doen 'n beroep op die betrokke wetstoepassingsagentskappe om voorkeur te gee aan die verhaling van 1,2 miljard Suid-Afrikaanse rand by mense wat staatskaping moontlik gemaak en gefasiliteer het. 'n Woordvoerder van die party, Glynnis Breytenbach, sê hierdie persone het óf finansiële voordele ontvang omdat hulle die toekenning van staatskontrakte aan Gupta-ondernemings gefasiliteer het, óf kontrakte gekry vir dienslewering wat nooit uitgevoer is nie.

The DA says it's vindicated by the move to lay charges against Ace Magashule regarding his alleged involvement in the Asbestos housing project.

(01:30) With the National Executive Committee having confirmed ANC secretary-general Ace Magashule's suspension, we consider if president Ramaphosa has managed to knocked out Magashule, or if Magashule is just down but not yet out. We consider whether Magashule will apologise for the falsified suspension letter he sent to the president and what this internal conflict means for the future of Luthuli House and the the muster of the ANC constitution. (14:40) In the wake of fractional battles within the ANC, our politics team considers if the party can repair itself without splitting up. In leaked audio, former president Thabo Mbeki suggests that the ideological differences with party cannot be overcome and our analysists feel the same way.  (17:20) As the State Capture Commission slowly begins to winddown to a close, the every-day-joe's came to realise that SA's intelligence services have been in the pocket of the powerful. Our dedicated State Capture Commission reporter Mawande Amashabalala unpacks the updates from the past week's testimony.  (25:30) Finally the team supplies us with a Zulu royal succession update. Can South Africa expect a new king and a new era, or is the country still going to bare witness to infighting within the royal AmaZulu family over the coveted throne?

In this podcast, I analyse the late night shenanigans or the African National Congress. The secretary-general of the ANC Ace (Eish?) Magashul  has been suspended. It doesn't seem like he accepts the suspension. What the hell is going on? And what does it MEAN? I give my perspective, my interpretation of the madness.

There's hardly an uneventful day in the South African political landscape with President Ramaphosa appearing at the State Capture inquiry, the ANC and corruption, Ace Magashule's suspension, and lots more. The team, along with Leeto Nthoba - lecturer at Central University of Technology, debater and socio-political analyst - unpack these and share their views and opinions.

Columnist and former Business Day and Financial Mail editor Peter Bruce continues his new Podcasts From The Edge series in a discussion with journalist and veteran ANC watcher Karima Brown. As investors gather for a third round of fund-raising for the country, the President faces a fightback as ANC secretary general Ace Magashule is charged. But does Ace really have the firepower to hurt Ramaphosa and what is the Ramaphosa camp doing to counter the propaganda effect of the Magashule trial afforded him by television channels? How likely is it that Jacob Zuma all ever give evidence to Raymond Zondo and why does the president leave Bheki Cele in charge of the police when he is clearly so unsuited to the job. Finally, what was the meaning of that orange tie Ramaphosa wore when he addressed the nation last week.
