JOHANNESBURG – North West Premier Supra Mahumapelo has reshuffled his cabinet, firing two MECs and appointing four new ones to the provincial executive council.

Both the MECs for education and community safety have been axed.

Former Moretele local municipality mayor Sello Lehari and Mpho Motlhabane have been appointed as new MECs.

The provincial government says two vacancies in the Human Settlement and Arts and Culture Departments have now also been filled.

Spokesperson Brian Setswambung said, “We welcome them and congratulate them in the appointment. These are men and women of a strong character and strong leadership. They will add value in the running of the executive and the province in general.”
