JOHANNESBURG – The African National Congress (ANC) provincial executive committee (PEC) has taken a decision to recall Premier Sisi Ntombela and Mangaung mayor Mxolisi Siyonzana.
The Provincial Executive Committee (PEC) is holding a lekgotla where the assessment of governance at provincial and local levels forms part of the agenda.
Ntombela lost the leadership contest of the Free State ANC to Cooperative Governance MEC, Mxolisi Dukwana, two weeks ago.
In August, the ANC in Mangaung resolved that Siyonzana should be recalled as mayor. The PEC has now affirmed that decision. The municipality has been plagued by serious allegations of maladministration, mismanagement of funds, corruption, and service delivery.
Opposition parties in the Free State say the imminent removal of Premier Sisi Ntombela is rooted in African National Congress (ANC)’s factional battles.
The future of Ntombela, the Speaker of the legislature, Zanele Sifuba, and nine MECs was put in jeopardy after they failed to make it into the powerful 35-member PEC.
