Resign or be recalled - ANC top six tell Supra
Time is running out for embattled North West Premier Supra Mahumapelo after President Cyril Ramaphosa met with him on Thursday to communicate the ANC national working committee's (NWC's) verdict that he must resign or be recalled.
Two sources confirmed to News24 that Ramaphosa and other top six officials met with Mahumapelo on Thursday afternoon in Johannesburg in a bid to get him to resign.
This was on the back of an NWC meeting on Wednesday, where the majority of members said he should step down.
If Mahumapelo remains defiant and refuses to voluntarily step down, his fate will be decided by the party's national executive committee (NEC).
"The dominant view is that he must resign and I believe the officials will succeed in getting him to do so," one NWC insider told News24.
