2019 ELECTIONS AFTERMATH: North West premier wrangle a crucial indicator of Ramaphosa’s power in the ANC

The ANC Women’s League’s objection to the lack of gender parity among the ANC’s candidates for provincial premiers came at the last minute of the national executive committee meeting on Monday.

In Limpopo and North West the interim premiers are both female. Refilwe Mtsweni in Limpopo is considered closely aligned with former premier and provincial chairperson David Mabuza, who has stepped up to become deputy president. In the Free State, Sisi Ntombela, ANC Women’s League deputy president, is aligned with ANC secretary-general Ace Magashule.

Those in the NEC who support Mokgoro argued that stability was needed because the provincial government was under administration. On top of that, North West has done its part for gender representivity by having three female premiers in the past 25 years, they said.

The North West ANC Youth League also effectively threw its weight behind Mokgoro after a meeting on Wednesday. Provincial secretary Sipho Dial said Mokgoro should stay, but the league would also propose Viola Motsumi, its provincial treasurer and “who comes from our ranks” and who, aged 35, was young enough to appeal to the youth. The league had also considered Matuba, but Dial said she was not on the party’s election lists and she held a full-time position in the Women’s League.
