Post-matric qualifications key as ANC chooses North West premier
The ANC has introduced a post-matric qualification as a minimum requirement for candidates to become the new premier of North West in the race to replace incumbent Job Mokgoro, setting the bar higher than usual and possibly triggering a new process that would exclude many aspirants for public office among its ranks, unless they shape up and go back to school.
This included questions on how to best turn around the state of the province, particularly since it was placed under administration by the central government.They also looked at academic qualifications and the candidate’s history in the organisation, said the source. Another insider said candidates had to “confirm their qualifications and almost all the questions were centred on governance, including their expertise and capabilities to run a provincial government”.
Had the governing party applied the new criteria of a post-matric qualification during the 2016 local government elections, most mayors would not have made the cut. Those with the relevant qualifications within the party were upbeat that the new standard should also apply to MECs and even ministers at national level.“This changes the playing field.
