'Why don't they just remove Supra?' - North West residents
25 April 2018
Residents in the North West remained adamant that the only way calm would be restored to the embattled province, was if Premier Supra Mahumapelo was fired.
"Why don't they just remove Supra? He is corrupt, and everything will be fine if he goes. The problem will be solved," a resident in Delareyville, North West told News24.
Violence broke out in the province and protesters called for Mahumapelo to go, after a vote of no confidence in him was postponed.
This was due to an Economic Freedom Fighters court application to have the vote held by secret ballot "to protect" African National Congress members who wanted to oust him.
