The African Congress for Transformation (ACT) has recently confirmed that its leader, Ace Magashule, sent a supportive message to his former personal assistant, Moroadi Cholata.
This development comes amid rising tensions and legal proceedings involving Cholata, who was originally slated to be a state witness in a high-profile case against Magashule.
However, in a dramatic turn of events, she retracted her agreement and was subsequently extradited from the United States to stand trial.
The ACT revealed that Magashule communicated his support through Cholata’s legal team. In his message, Magashule encouraged her to ‘stay strong’ and condemned how she was arrested.
Describing her arrest as ‘Hollywood-style,’ the ACT criticized what they perceived to be intimidation tactics aimed at coercing Cholata to testify against Ace Magashule in court.
The unfolding legal drama has intensified scrutiny of the practices employed by law enforcement and judicial entities. Critics argue that Cholata’s arrest was orchestrated to instill fear and pressure her into changing her stance.
While the ACT firmly stands by Magashule’s leadership, condemning the methods used against Cholata, public opinion remains divided on this contentious issue.
Observers are closely monitoring how these developments will impact both Cholata’s legal predicament and Magashule’s political standing.
