ANC Premier candidate for North West, Professor Job Mokgoro, swearing in is underway in North West .
Mokgoro was picked by a special ANC national working committee this week after a series of consultative meetings over who should fill the vacant position left by Mahumapelo. An analyst from North West University Professor Andre Duvenhage spoke well of Mokgoro as seasoned administrator who brings a wealth of experience.
70-year-old Mokgoro holds a master of public administration degree from the University of Toledo in the US. His former colleagues at the North West University have praised Mokgoro’s track record.
Mokgoro served in several boards of State owned enterprises in the province and advised former Premier Mahumapelo in many portfolios of governance. Mokgoro will serve as premier until next year’s general elections.
