Gauteng and the Free State ANC provincial structures have not submitted any lists of “step-aside names” after Luthuli House compiled a list from seven provinces that include more than 60 members who have been charged or are facing allegations of committing serious crimes. Some ANC branches in the Free State, the Northern Cape and North West have embarked on attempts to persuade the national executive committee (NEC) to reinstate suspended ANC secretary-general Ace Magashule, failing which they will demand an early national general council. Lets Pretorius of the Boeremag thought he would die in prison as a “white political prisoner”, but he has quietly been given parole. Pretorius (75), a medical doctor, was released from the Zonderwater Prison, east of Pretoria, around August last year.
