Former ANC secretary-general and current ACT leader Ace Magashule has officially begun his long-awaited asbestos corruption trial at the Bloemfontein High Court. Charged alongside businessman Edwin Sodi, Magashule faces serious accusations of corruption, fraud, and money laundering linked to a R255 million asbestos audit project. While the National Prosecuting Authority claims to have damning evidence including bank records and whistleblower testimonies, Magashule insists this is a politically motivated case aimed at silencing him. Outside the courtroom, chaos erupted as supporters rallied behind him and critics demanded justice. This case could have massive implications for South Africa’s justice system, the credibility of anti-corruption efforts, and the future of political accountability.
