The Democratic Alliance (DA) will push for a motion of no confidence in the Free State legislature against Premier Ace Magashule.
This follows Friday’s raids by the Hawks on the Premier’s office and the Department of Agriculture.
They seized documents and information related to dealings at the controversial Vrede Dairy Farm.
DA leader Mmusi Maimane took his party’s road show to Botshabelo, east of Bloemfontein.
He has called for heads to roll in relation to the alleged diversion of state funds allocated to the Vrede Dairy Farm.
The opposition party has set their sights on the Premier and Mineral Resources Minister Mosebenzi Zwane, who was the Agriculture MEC when the farm was identified and leased to the Gupta-linked Estina Company.
Mmusi Maimane says: ” The ANC has a history of protecting corruption, they’ve done it as if it something they specialise in, we’ve seen it with Jacob Zuma.”
“What we are requesting is that we must ensure that they don’t protect him and even if he remains secretary general of the ANC because the ANC will continue to protect him, he must see jail if he is guilty.”
It’s alleged that the farm was used as a front to siphon R220 millions of taxpayers’ money to the politically connected Gupta family.
