The first vacancy left by former chief whip Louis Diremelo, who now works full-time as ANC provincial secretary in the North West, was filled by Victoria Makhaula during the last council meeting on 28 February.“Yes, Morema has been replaced by Motsepe and we confirmed this with his party and the IEC ,” Fourie said.
Motsepe topped the original ANC PR list in Bojanala but was number 18 on the final list submitted to the IEC, prior to the November 2021 local government elections.He is also a member of the provincial ANC Veteran’s League in North West and is from the Bakgatla ba Mmakau royal family.Some resisted his election to the Bojanala council, suggesting that he was not the right candidate to fill the position.
Motsepe was allegedly seen as a threat by some who believed his strong anti-corruption stand as former mayor of Madibeng Local Municipality could derail their plans to access state resources.
