Mokgoro’s final bid for power
Mokgoro – whose days are numbered, with Luthuli House having already interviewed three candidates for his replacement – has still not explained why he decided to dismissMEC Mmoloki Cwaile, who was appointed eight months ago, amid hostility from certain party quarters, including the interim provincial committee.
While many were left wondering why he was appointed, his dismissal has likewise been the subject of speculation. Mokgoro is still on suspension from the ANC – a decision he is appealing – after he and four ANC members of the provincial legislature were accused of having voted with the opposition party in defiance of the ANC caucus during the election of the chair of chairs.
Cwaile said that he could not rule that out, but added: “I think the premier panicked because of the move to remove him as premier. Perhaps he thought that removing me would appease the ANC North West interim provincial committee, so he used my vulnerability to repair his damaged relations with it.” department to explain how the company continued to rake in more than R500 million from a R122 million contract.
The premier is empowered to make an assessment of the work of individual members of the PEC and, in taking this assessment to its logical conclusion, he saw fit to part ways with Cwaile.In his resignation letter – which City Press has seen – Cwaile is believed to have alluded to the project management unit disagreement when he wrote: “I am convinced that I cannot continue to function effectively under your leadership as premier in the present circumstances and hostile environment.
