The Chief Whip of the North West Provincial Legislature (NWPL), Motlalepula Rosho on Tuesday, wished North West MEC for Agriculture and Rural Development, Madoda Sambatha, who is also the South African Communist Party (SACP) provincial secretary, Madoda Sambatha a speedy recovery. This comes after Sambatha and his protectors were involved in a car accident on R30 near Derby on Monday.
Sambatha allegedly insisted to be ferried to a public hospital in Klerksdorp, while his protectors were admitted at a private hospital. According to information, Sambatha was on route from official duty in Rustenburg driving towards home, where he was to join bi-elections programme in ward 1 and 25 in Matlosana.
Rosho said: “We wish Sambatha a speedy recovery, healing and restoration on behalf of the ANC Caucus in the North West Provincial Legislature. We are grateful that he survived the horrific accident with minor injuries.
“Rosho pointed out that Sambatha’s incapacity occurred at a crucial stage when MECs are preparing themselves to next week present departmental policy statements and budget speeches that will contribute towards accelerating service delivery and deepening transformation,” she said.
Rosho further said while this is a setback, they are confident that as a courageous revolutionary cadre, he will bounce back to good health in time to discharge his duties with passion and dedication. She added that they also wished Sambatha’s two protectors, who were with him in the vehicle when they met the accident a speedy recovery.
“One has already been discharged from hospital, while the other was to undergo an operation,” said Rosho.
