The ANC in the North West says it is shocked at reports of an alleged plot to assassinate embattled North West Premier Supra Mahumapelo.

Acting provincial secretary Sussana Dantjie said they were "shocked and disturbed" by the alleged plot to "permanently silence" Mahumapelo.

A case of conspiracy to commit murder has been opened at Mahikeng police station.

This follows a wave of violent protests that has swept through the North West in recent weeks, calling for Mahumapelo to resign.

 

DA to table motion of no confidence in Premier Makhura

The DA says it will table a motion of no confidence in Premier David Makhura in the Gauteng provincial legislature later this month.

DA Gauteng provincial leader John Moodey said yesterday that the party will table the motion on May 15.

The party blamed Makhura for the 144 Life Esidimeni patients who had lost their lives. 

The ANC has said that the motion was a desperate attempt by the DA.
