Africa-Press<\/a> – South-Africa<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Johannesburg \u2013 The DA in North West has labelled the provincial ANC\u2019s decision to monitor and regulate the activities of Premier Job Mokgoro following the suspension of his ANC\u2019s membership as \u201cunconstitutional\u201d.<\/p>\n

On Sunday, the ANC suspended Premier Mokgoro\u2019s party membership, claiming that he and four other ANC members colluded with the ANC to elect fellow ANC member Priscilla Williams as chair of chairs in the North West Provincial Legislature.<\/p>\n

The ANC wanted Lenah Miga for the position. According to the ANC interim provincial coordinator, Hlomani Chauke, Mokgoro, Aaron Motswana, Williams, Job Dliso and Bitsa Lenkopane had denied the party mandate and had brought the organisation into disrepute.<\/p>\n

\u201cTheir actions constitute gross violation of the ANC constitution and breach of their membership oath,\u201d Chauke said.<\/p>\n

He summoned all five of them to appear before the ANC disciplinary committee, but the DA disagrees with the action taken against fellow legislature members.<\/p>\n

DA North West deputy provincial leader Freddy Sonakile said the suspension of party membership is an internal ANC matter and was limited to the ANC\u2019s own party political activities.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe instruction by the IPC (Interim Provincial Committee) that three members will continue with their legislative work, with one member wholly suspended, and that the Premier will continue with his executive work in government, subject to coordination with the ANC\u2019s Chief Whip in the North West Provincial Legislature, is unconstitutional.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe IPC\u2019s instruction blurs the line between party and state. The position of Premier is a constitutional creation and is subject to the oversight of the entire Legislature, that is subject to the oversight of all political parties represented, not just by the ANC.<\/p>\n

According to Rule 32.1 of the Legislature\u2019s Standing Rules and Orders, the responsibility of the chief whip of the majority party is largely limited to ensuring the effective coordination of the business of the legislature in consultation with other political parties. The function of the Leader of Government Business is largely limited to coordinating the schedule of government with that of the Legislature,\u201d Sonakile said.<\/p>\n

He said it was ironic that the ANC, which has claimed to be a champion of multi-party democracy, was now crying foul about the vibrancy such a multi-party democracy brings within the Legislature.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur mandate is to operate in the best interests of the people of North West, and not in the best interests of the ANC, which, by the way, seeks only to consolidate power of one ANC faction over another in order to enjoy access to the public purse.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe people of the North West have endured the dysfunctional governance of the ANC for far too long. This is the result of a dysfunctional ANC. The factional battles playing out contribute to the collapse in governance and the delivery of services,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Sonakile said the IPC, after more than two years in office, has been unable to stabilise the ANC in the province and \u201cthat is because the ANC is beyond any salvation\u201d.<\/p>\n
