Magashule asbestos case back in court

FREE STATE - The asbestos corruption trial of former Free State Premier Ace Magashule and his co-accused resumes today (Wednesday).

Last week, Justice Phillip Loubser postponed proceedings to allow time to address yet another request for a delay - this time by a lawyer representing one of the accused.

Magashule and his 17 co-accused have all pleaded not guilty to charges including fraud, corruption, and money laundering. 

The case relates to a R255 million tender awarded in 2014 for the auditing and removal of asbestos roofs in the Free State.
