Free State premier faces the axe
Free State Premier Sisi Ntombela and some of her MECs are facing the axe. Their fate is in the hands of the ANC PEC Lekgotla currently underway.
JOHANNESBURG - The Free State ANC is expected to recall Premier Sisi Ntombela.
Some of her MECs also face the axe.
Party sources say this is one of the key decisions taken at the PEC Lekgotla this weekend.
An official announcement is expected after the Lekgotla.
Indications that Ntombela has lost support have been evident since the provincial conference a few weeks ago.
She unsuccessfully challenged Mxolisi Dukwana for the Free State chair position but lost so badly that she failed to even make it into the PEC.
ANC Chairperson Gwede Mantashe also made remarks that further discredited Ntombela's leadership.
He told conference delegates there was no government at either provincial or local government in the Free State.
