Magashule v Ramaphosa and Others

The Gauteng High Court, on Friday, dismissed African National Congress (ANC) secretary-general Ace Magashule’s bid to overturn his suspension, saying the party’s step aside rule cannot be ruled unconstitutional.

Last month, Magashule had asked the court to lift his suspension for failing to vacate his position following a directive under the ANC’s step aside resolution. The resolution states that criminally charged party members should step aside from their positions until their cases are concluded.
