MEC accused of bias for letting ANC councillors run amok

ANC members in the Mamusa municipality in North West are accusing MEC for cooperative governance and traditional affairs Saliva Molapisi of bias in favour of one faction at the municipality.

This is after Molapisi allegedly failed to act against council speaker Gotsilekgosi Batsi when he and two other ANC councillors, Gontse Kock and Tumisho Tlhole, collaborated with the EFF to defy ANC council mandates. Molapisi also refused to act against the three who retained municipal manager Frans Mabokela, although he was removed by council through a lawful resolution recently.

A council meeting on 18 February resolved to remove Mabokela, who was seconded by the provincial government.
