‘Disrespectful, divisive’: Ace ‘tampering’ with North West list ‘will cost the ANC’, by setumostone
In the six-page letter to Luthuli House on Sunday, marked “confidential,” the signatories – among them Cosatu provincial executive committee member Mosadiwamajwe Mokokong, South African Communist Party provincial chairperson Smuts Mathe, South African National Civic Organisation provincial secretary Packet Seaketso and ANC veterans league provincial working committee member Bushy Mape – said that the manner in which Magashule’s national list committee handled the final list was disrespectful...
“There were many changes that actually undermined the list guidelines as well as the efforts to respect the democratic processes and unite the movement in the province, but most importantly to regain the confidence of the voters”.The national list committee, according to the letter, effected eight major changes to the list including moving some allies of ex-premier Supra Mahumapelo – who enjoys a close relationship with Magashule – into top positions that are regarded as “electable and safe”.
“In order to redress the situation which has negatively affected the moral of our structures especially those in election campaign structures, the letter proposed remedial measures including respect for the democratic outcome, and the reversal of all other changes except for Dliso and the Bridgette Mogakwe of the provincial ANC women’s league.
The subsequent ordering of the list by the provincial list committee, according to the letter, considered the democratic process, proven support by branches, gender parity, 20% youth representation, continuity, regional spread, representation of alliance and mass democratic movement structures, adequate representation of national groups, self-representation of leaders from the disability sector and critical skills”.
