North West MEC for Cooperative Governance, Human Settlement and Traditional Affairs (COGHSTA), Nono Maloyi has been appointed as interim North West Premier. This is due to the unavailability of North West Premier, Bushy Maape, who will be out of the country from 21 January until 31 January 2024, following advice and referral by his doctor to seek further medical treatment in Thailand.

During Maape’s absence, Maloyi will act as Premier. He has since been sworn in by the North West High Court Judge President, Ronald Hendricks.

Maape spokesperson, Sello Tatai said: “the Office of the Premier wishes to confirm that a formal notification of Maape’s travel has been sent to both the President and the Speaker of the North West Provincial Legislature.”
