The swearing in of new Free State Cogta MEC Mxolisi Dukwana is being challenged, with accusations his name was unlawfully bumped up the ANC list of candidates in the province.
According to Reachable, she was placed at number 20 with Dukwana at 29 on the original list of candidates gazetted on August 12. She claimed this was changed when the ANC submitted another list in September, moving her from 20 to 22 and Dukwana from 29 to 20.
Reachable maintains that according to the law, she was supposed to have been sworn in as an MPL instead of Dukwana. “Accordingly, the speaker and/or the legislature ought not to have sworn in Mr Dukwana as an MPL,” the letter reads.
