The African National Congress (ANC) in the Lejweleputwsa region in the Free State says it has asked the national leadership to reconfigure the troika of the Matjhabeng Local Municipality.
The troika includes the executive mayor, Thanduxolo Khalipha, the Speaker and the council chief whip.
The ANC executive committee in Lejweleputswa says this is in a bid to restore state of governance and collapsed service delivery in the municipality.
The party’s Secretary-General Fikile Mbalula announced earlier this week that Khalipha will be among five ANC members and leaders to face disciplinary action.
Lejweluputswa regional secretary Irvin Riet says, “The ANC Reginal Executive Committee (REC) has resolved to recommend to the national officials the urgent reconfiguration of the troika in Matjhabeng Local Municipality. As part of this assessment process the Regional Working Committee (RWC) convened a meeting with the troika of Matjhabeng and the senior municipal management, it is deeply concerning that the executive mayor failed to attend this engagement and did not even tender an apology despite the serious governance crisis facing the municipality.“
