South Africa’s governing African National Congress (ANC) is demanding that the North West Premier Supra Mahumapelo resigns following weeks of violent protests.
Lives have been lost in the violent protests in Taung, as agitations continue over jobs and call for the head of Supra Mahumapelo.
The chaotic protests erupted last month over housing and corruption issues, forcing police officers to fire rubber bullets into crowds.
Shops have been looted and cars set ablaze in other parts of the province with the police arresting dozens of people who participated in the protest.
South Africa’s President Cyril Ramaphosa is reported to have met with North West Premier Supra Mahumapelo on Thursday to communicate the ANC national working committee’s (NWC’s) verdict that he must resign or be recalled.
News24 reported that President Ramaphosa met with Mahumapelo on Thursday afternoon in Johannesburg in a bid to get him to resign.
