The court dismissed his application, with costs, without hearing the matter. The Supreme Court of Appeal dismissed suspended ANC secretary-general Ace Magashule's appeal of a judgment that declared his suspension from the party was lawful."The application for leave to appeal is dismissed, with costs, on the grounds that there is no reasonable prospect of success in an appeal and there is no other compelling reason why an appeal should be heard," the court ruled.
The corruption-charged Magashule told the court Ramaphosa's Cabinet reshuffle was proof there was a selective application of the ANC's step-aside rule. If granted permission to appeal, Magashule said he planned to introduce new evidence to strengthen his argument.In response, ANC deputy secretary-general Jessie Duarte said he had not met the grounds required to convince the SCA to hear his latest attempt to overturn his suspension.Magashule was suspended from the ANC in May 2021 after he was criminally charged for corruption.
QaanitahHunter Ace Magashule was ill-advised from the start, it was clear. He challenged his suspension, at the same time wanted Cyril Ramaphosa suspension to stand. Madness.
