Social media users comment on Ace Magashule arrest claims

Rumours have been going round on social media claiming that the ANC secretary-general Ace Magashule may soon be arrested.

Magashule told his lawyers to verify the rumour.
On Tuesday night, he said his and his lawyers are yet to be formally notified of any plans to arrest him.

“For now, my lawyers will be in touch with the NPA so that we verify this. For now, I’m saying there is no need for any panic.”

“No need for any Hollywood [style of arrest] because I’m a law-abiding citizen. I have not done anything that is wrong, according to me, and unlawful,” he said.

Concerning the case against him, he claimed he was never involved in the Estina dairy farm matter.

He also said no law enforcement agency has questioned over his involvement in the project.

However, Hawks slammed the rumour as “fake news”.

“The DPCI [police Directorate for Priority Crime Investigation] view the report as a malicious intent to undermine the integrity of the organisation,” the Hawks said.

Despite the claims being refuted, social media streets were quick to convert the rumour to humour.
