Update | Maape still sidelined as Motlalepula Rosho appointed acting premier in North West after Mokgoro resigns as premier and not as a member of the provincial legislature
The provincial legislature has confirmed that Mokgoro has only resigned as premier, and not as a member of the provincial legislature, which would have paved the way for Maape to take over as per ANC instructions.
Sources have told City Press that there is a concern among a few MECs who believe that, when Maape takes over, there will be a reshuffle and some of them will be deployed to the National Assembly as MPs. Mokgoro, however, remained defiant and criticised the ANC North West interim provincial committee for “prematurely” announcing Maape as his successor before other processes, such as getting him to agree to vacate the positions of both premier and member of the provincial legislature and having the latter declared vacant, were completed.On Thursday, Mokgoro told the media that he had decided to “refuse to leave the office in stampede, forced out in haste for no reason”.
