NORTH West provincial legislature speaker, Sussan Dantjie will sworn-in new Member of the Legislature, Virginia Tsotso Tlhapi. Dantjie said Tlhapi will replace the late MEC for social development, Kgakgamatso Nkewu as the member of legislature.
Dantjie said: “The proceeding will take place at the Speaker’s Boardroom at 3pm. Tlhapi is ANC member and we hope Tlhapi’s inclusion will be fruitful.”
Nkewu passed away a month ago in a car accident between Vryburg and Mahikeng. She was on her way to join ANC deputy president, Cyril Ramaphosa on local government election trail campaign in Molelema village, Taung.
Her vehicle rolled several times before it burst in fire. Nkewu’s VIP protection driver lost control of the vehicle while he was allegedly trying to avoid a cyclist on the road. The cyclist was also killed in the same accident and two VIP protections survived the accident.
