Mahikeng- It is a disgrace but not surprising that Ontlametse Reginah Mochwari, the former mayor of Kagisano-Molopo local municipality resigned from her post as Social Development MEC and also as a member of the provincial legislature on Tuesday, says Economic Freedom Fighters in North West.

EFF said the resignation caused by Electoral contravention.

“Mochwari did not appear on the Independent Electoral Commission (IEC) sanctioned ANC provincial list, a deliberate transgression of IEC regulation that can only be a page taken out of Supra Mahumapelo’s book of long dividing the ANC in the North West province” EFF provincial spokesperson Seitebogeng Nkitseng said.

Nkitseng said this transgression amounts to nothing but fraud and a beckon of Mahumapelo’s incapability to lead.

“While Mahumapelo calls for unity,
he has overlooked former Scopa chairperson Hlomane Chauke who was the rightful candidate for the provincial legislature instead of Mochwari. Mahumapelo has further engendered factionalism by appointing an incapable crony, Fenny Gaolaolwe as the MEC for Social Development” Nkitseng said.

While the ANC has been tongue-tied in trying to explain this debacle,
the deliberate transgression of IEC regulations is a disrespect for both the legislature and the intelligence of the people of the North
West.

EFF said Supra Mahumapelo is incapable of sterling leadership and he will fall on his own sword.

“Being questioned by members of the ANC is indicative that he will come under siege from his own legacy of pioneering factionalism in the North West.-TDN
