Newsdeck: North West ANC regions fight back: ‘We are battling an arrogant ANC leadership’

The North West ANC’s provincial leadership was dissolved in August 2018 by the ANC’s NEC, which is the party’s highest decision-making body between conferences. It also recommended a task team help restore calm in the volatile region and prepare it for the national elections, which took place in May.

The provincial task team disbanded the two out of four regions, saying parallel structures, which had been fuelled by factionalism, had been established in those areas. Its regional secretary, Lopang Rothman, who questioned why the NMM region was left untouched, told News24 he believed the two affected regions were products of ANC factional battles.

The North West, which was led by Mahumapelo both as a provincial chair and as its premier, is largely believed to be part of the faction which supported former president Jacob Zuma and his “preferred” successor, Dr Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma, in the run-up to the elective conference. He denied their recent decision to revisit their concerns had anything to do with Mahumapelo, who is now a Member of Parliament.

The five applicants won two court challenges, the first to have the NEC decision set aside and the second an execution order forcing the ANC to allow Mahumapelo and his PEC to return to work. This was halted when the ANC requested meetings to seek political solutions.
