South African Court Postpones Case Against ANC’s Magashule

(Bloomberg) -- South Africa’s High Court postponed the graft trial of Ace Magashule, the suspended secretary-general of the nation’s ruling African National Congress, until Oct. 19.

The delay was agreed to at a hearing in the central town of Bloemfontein on Wednesday. Magashule is facing corruption, fraud and money-laundering charges related to an audit contract issued while he was premier of the Free State province.
