JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) - South Africa's governing African National Congress said it will look into the behaviour of its already suspended general secretary, Ace Magashule, after he and two other party members aimed veiled insults at ANC leaders last week.

Magashule, the administrative head of the ANC, making him one country's most powerful politicians, was forced to step down from his post earlier in May over charges of corruption. He has challenged the suspension in court.
