North West Premier Supra Mahumapelo has appealed for calm following reports of conspiring to murder him, by a Mafikeng based councillor.

The suspect, Gaasitswe Legalamitlwa, was arrested earlier this week by the police while consulting a traditional doctor allegedly planning to carry out the plot to kill Mahumapelo.

The Hawks unit of the police are reported to be in possession of the audio-recordings implicating the suspect.

On Wednesday, she was granted a R300 bail by a magistrate court near Zeerust.

However, Mahumapelo says people should allow the law to take its course.

“There was a person who was arrested. What we are going to urge people to do, (is to) allow the law to take its course. We also urge (them) to ignore that development and go on with life as if it has not happened. We are not going to allow ourselves to be distracted by people,” adds Mahumapelo.
