The ANC in Limpopo is in a war with itself after the party’s provincial executive committee publicly announced its displeasure at the election of one of its own, Louisa Shongwe, as new mayor for the embattled Lephalale Local Municipality. Appointment Shongwe was appointed mayor for the beleaguered council last Wednesday, ousting the former mayor Nico Pienaar of the Democratic Alliance and con[1]tender Aaron Mokgehle, who is supported by the ANC PEC in the province.
In a statement yesterday, the party said it was disappointed about the current developments at the Lephalale municipal council. Any other candidate outside the decision of the ANC is a clear sign of defiance,” the statement read. It further said the PEC had directed its officials to engage with the leadership of Waterberg region on the state of the organisation and governance in all municipalities in the region.“We have further directed the PEC sub-committee on legislature and governance to conduct a performance assessment of all Lephalale councillors and present the report back to the PEC.
“Our roads have turned into dongas, people are drinking from the same source as wild animals while our parks resemble inter[1]mingled forests of frustration since the fight for mayorship begun in 2021,” she said.
