Potchestroom-The deposed former Tlokwe Executive Mayor, Maphetle Maphetle who was implicated in various independent forensic investigative reports has made a comeback after been deployed to a senior position in the North West Provincial Legislature.

Maphetle, who was a teacher before he became a councillor in the Tlokwe Municipality, was deployed as the Executive Manager Corporate Services at R934 866 per annum, – a substantial increase from his previous position as Executive Mayor.

“The appointment of Maphetle into a senior position in the Legislature’s administration, without any applicable related experience, confirms that the NW ANC Chairperson and Legislature Speaker, Supra Mahumapelo is not only consolidating his support, but is also keeping his inner support circle very close to him” DA North West Chris Hattingh said.
The DA said they will question the merit of Maphetle’s appointment into a position of trust in the Legislature and into a senior position for which he clearly does not qualify.-TDN
