JOHANNESBURG - The African Congress for Transformation (ACT) has confirmed its leader, Ace Magashule, sent a message of support to his former PA, encouraging her to “stay strong”.

Moroadi Cholata was meant to be a State witness in the case against Magashule, but she backtracked on the agreement, leading to her extradition from the United States to stand trial.

Magashule now leads the ACT, which has slammed what they’ve described as her “Hollywood-style” arrest.

“Magashule sent her his support through the lawyers for Moroadi to stay strong and also noting the fact that they wanted just to intimidate her and cause fear so that - they hope - she will change and be the State’s witness.”
