Senior ANC sources have confirmed to eNCA that an emergency top six meeting of the party has been called to discuss among other things the arrest warrant of Secretary-General, Ace Magashule.

A warrant of arrest was issued for Magashule on Tuesday.

It is in connection with Magashule’s alleged involvement in an asbestos audit contract in the Free State.

A warrant of arrest was issued early this week 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 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.
