The newly-elected Premier says members of the Executive must work on the ground.
”You dare not disappoint the people of the Free State.” This is stern message from the new Premier of the Free State, MaQueen Letsoha-Mathae, to the new members of the Executive Council. Letsoha-Mathae announced her nine-member Executive Council at OR Tambo Building in Bloemfontein.
Just like she did when she led the Department of Community Safety, Letsoha-Mathae made it clear that she will not work with people who are office-based. Four MECs made a comeback in the new provincial executive. Dibolelo Mance will continue leading the Department of Public Works and Infrastructure, Mathabo Leeto moves from Health to Social Development; ANC deputy chairperson, Ketso Makume, will head the Department of Finance, Tourism and Economic Development.
