ANC secretary-general Ace Magashule has clarified that Supra Mahumapelo has indeed resigned.
In the press briefing at Luthuli House on Wednesday, the embattled former North West premier said he’s taking “early retirement”. Following Mahumapelo’s announcement, Magashule simplified the details of Mahumapelo’s resignation.
“Let me just put it in simple terms, no parables. Comrade Supra is today resigning as the premier of North West and I think in that process, he is assisting the ANC to deal with all challenges which we are supposed to deal with so that he doesn’t become an obstacle to solving whatever problems. We are very happy and we support his move as the ANC. It has been a very difficult time and period but the fact that he has offered, voluntarily so, to come here and say to the ANC that I am prepared to resign is a great thing to do as a leader,” says Magashule.
