Mpumalanga Premier Refilwe Mtshweni-Tsipane’s campaign to lead the ANC in the province is beset by allegations of using state power and eccentric behaviour by some of her lobbyists, but she is steaming ahead unfazed
Mpumalanga Premier Refilwe Mtshweni-Tsipane’s campaign to lead the ANC in the province is beset by allegations of using stateMtshweni-Tsipane is going head-to-head with acting ANC provincial chairperson Mandla Ndlovu for now, but indications are that there could be another contender as the candidates for other top five positions in the camps are still being discussed.Mtshweni-Tsipane, Mpumalanga’s first female premier, would be the first female chairperson should she win.
He has now given up on his ambition to be chairperson and teamed up with Ndlovu to stand as secretary. The provincial elective conference, the first to be contested since 2008 when Mabuza was elected chairperson, is scheduled to take place early next year. Another headache in Mtshweni-Tsipane’s camp has been chief lobbyist Ngrayi Ngwenya, whose eccentric behaviour has been rattling the camp.
Said a Mtshweni-Tsipane campaigner: “How has that incident got anything to do with our campaign? It’s an individual who decided to do this and that’s not what we stand for.”
