20 March 2026- A leader of the South African National Civic Organisation (SANCO)’s ‘runaway faction” leader in North West, James Gadinabokao (50), who is also a member of ANC and a staunch supporter of ANC provincial chairperson, Nono Maloyi, has been hospitalised with head injury. This comes after Gadinabokao allegedly slipped and fell, while in the bathroom at a local guesthouse in Vryburg this week.
It is alleged that Gadinabokao checked-in into the guesthouse in the company of a woman on Monday. However, it is alleged that on Tuesday morning, he went to the bathroom, where he slipped and fell.
It is alleged that Gadinabokao suffered temporary neurological impairment.
The North West police spokesperson, Captain Majang Skalkie said the police in Vryburg have registered an inquiry for further investigation following an incident. Skalkie said according to the witness, the victim was neither attacked nor stabbed, but allegedly fell and sustained a head injury while in the bathroom.
“Emergency Medical Rescue Services (EMRS) were called and ferried the victim to the Joe Morolong Memorial Hospital, where he was admitted for medical treatment. He remains hospitalised and investigations are ongoing,” she said.
