Ramaphosa calls for unity in North West ahead of elections
RUSTENBURG - African National Congress president Cyril Ramaphosa on Saturday appealed for ANC unity in the North West ahead of the 2019 general elections on May 8.
"The ANC Nasrec [national] conference directed us to unite the ANC, renew the ANC, and to grow the economy to create jobs. The NEC [National Executive Committee] is working with the leaders who were in the provincial task team and those in the provincial executive committee [PEC] preparing for the election," he said.
A wave of violent protests ripped through the North West in April 2018 calling on Mahumapelo to resign. He eventually stepped down in May and Job Mokgoro was elected premier.
