The African National Congress (ANC) in Bokone Bophirima has welcomed the resignation letter of North West Premier, Supra Mahumapelo. ANC acting Provincial Secretary, Sussana Dantjie said the ruling party accepts Mahumapelo’s decision with a sense of apprehension, but great pride.

Dantjie said in a statement: “We welcome the Mahumapelo’s voluntarily exit from his deployment as the Premier. We are proud of him for having introduced the five concretes to implement the National Development Plan (NDP), which are Agriculture Culture & Tourism (ACT), Villages, Townships and Small Dorpies (VTSD) economic approach, Reconciliation Healing and Renewal (RHR), Setsokotsane and Saamwerk-Saamtrek philosophy.

“As an organization, we will forever be appreciative and learn from his emphatic principled, but simple approach to issues. We also commend him for having crisscrossed the entire province in pursuit of a better life for our people through the Setsokotsane campaign.”She said in Mahumapelo’s 35 years of revolutionary activism in the ANC, he has mastered the art of remaining simple and humble at all times, despite sustained concocted attacks against him by some friends and comrades.

Dantjie further said they know that Mahumapelo will continue to serve his movement, the ANC in whatever new role they will decide for him.
She added that they urge Mahumapelo to remain steadfast in what he believes are the necessary tasks of executing the revolution.

“As the ANC in Bokone Bophirima, we still believe in Mahumapelo’s innocence until he has been proven otherwise. We commend him for putting the interests of the province and its people before his own.

“We salute you Moidi for your selfless role in government. Continue leading us on an exemplary role in society as you have done for so many years,” Dantjie said.
North West Provincial government spokesperson, Brian Setswambung said he cannot confirm nor deny if Mahumapelo has resigned, but people should wait for Wednesday media briefing,”
