The African National Congress (ANC) welcomes the acquittal by the Commercial Crimes Court in Hatfield, Tshwane, of the National Executive Committee (NEC) member Billy Masetlha and his two co-accused Funi Madlala and Muzi Kunene, on charges of fraud and intercepting emails.
The ruling restores our confidence in the rule of law, Constitution and independence of the judiciary, which the ANC will always uphold, advance and defend.
