African National Congress Secretary-General Ace Magashule has lambasted fellow senior party members who use memorial services of stalwarts to attack and sow disunity within the governing party.
Magashule was delivering an address at a memorial service in honour of the late struggle stalwart Winnie Madikizela-Mandela in Soweto, south of Johannesburg, on Monday night.
“When you talk unity of the movement don’t use memorial services to attack other leaders. When I criticise another ANC leader in public, I’m weakening the movement.”
This follows allegations made by former Finance Minister, Trevor Manuel, at the struggle icon’s memorial lecture in Cape Town last week.
Manuel accused Magashule of collusion in looting public funds allocated for the restoration of the house Madikizela-Mandela lived in when she was banished to Brandfort in the Free State by the apartheid government.
Magashule expressed anger at those who use public platforms to question his leadership and moral authority.
