Magashule, speaking to journalists in his hometown of Parys in the Free State, refused to discuss the merits of the report. He also refused to say if he would step down.
The report compiled by integrity commission chairperson George Mashamba also advices the ANC’s national executive committee (NEC) to suspend him if he resists stepping down.
