A warrant of arrest has been issued for ANC Secretary-General Ace Magashule.

The Hawks confirmed that the warrant is in connection with the R255-million asbestos audit contract in the Free State.

Speaking to eNCA earlier, Magashule said he’s not aware of a warrant of arrest.

“If it happens then it happens but I am not worried at all because I know I have not done anything wrong, as a law-abiding citizen of South Africa,” said Magashule, who is campaigning in Soweto for Wednesday’s by-elections.

Magashule is expected to appear in court on Friday.
