But many ANC members said the move was politically motivated and had nothing to do with deployment because some of the axed mayors were competent.The ANC decision follows an assessment of the performances of the redeployed in terms of the Local Government Barometer document.It told journalists this week that it had conducted a mid-term assessment of the 22 municipalities and councillors in North West as part of its programme of action.
ANC secretary-general Fikile Mbalula had previously expressed concerns about the targeting of councillors, especially mayors, who were seen as opponents of the PEC in North West.The assessment saw mayors being moved from their positions and redeployed, which meant losing their current jobs to be moved to new tasks or demoted.
