ANC in the Ngaka Modiri Molema region has been dissolved by the ANC Interim Provincial Committee (IPC) with immediate effect. This was announced by the ANC IPC coordinator, Hlomani Chauke yesterday.
Chauke said the decision to disband the region was reached after intensive engagement with the ANC National Executive Committee (NEC).
“We have consulted with the national leadership and it has come to a conclusion to disband the region with immediate effect. So, the IPC has established an interim structure that will now run the affairs of the party in the region.
“The structure will assist the region in preparing our branches to go to BGMs that will lead into the regional conference including the preparations for a provincial conference,” Chauke said.
He lauded the new interim structure and wished them well in their new responsibilities. Chauke said the aim was to build the united ANC in the region.
“They will also make sure that during this period when there is a total collapse of service delivery, they will carry with them the responsibility of ensuring that there is accountability across all municipalities in Ngaka Modiri Molema to make sure that they deliver services to our people,” he said.
The disbanded ANC leadership in the region is well-known to be staunched supporters of the former ANC provincial chairperson, Supa Mahumapelo as they have lashed out at the IPC accusing them of serving their own interests and purging those who differ with them politically.
Recently, the structure also suspended the ANC memberships of Mahumapelo and the ANC Women’s League acting provincial secretary, Bitsa Lenkopane for five years for misconduct.
