#SupraMustGo: Placing NW under administration deals with the symptoms not the cause
14 May 2018
The DA in the North West deems President Cyril Ramaphosa's decision to put the North West Provincial Government under national administration as an extremely delayed response to an urgent and serious matter.
While placing a province under administration is aimed at restoring stability and ensuring that governance deficits are dealt with, we cannot help but believe that President Ramaphosa is using the Constitution to deal with a political impasse – his lack of support in the ANC to recall Supra Mahumaphelo once and for all.
Placing the North West under administration deals with the symptoms not the cause.
We are calling on ANC President Ramaphosa to recall Supra Mahumapelo with immediate effect.
