Rustenburg - The regional secretary of the ANC in the Bojanala Region, Tokyo Mataboge must resign with immediate effect due to his conduct, or a motion of no confidence would be passed in him at the Regional General Council next month, the area’s ANC Youth League said on Tuesday.
“The call is inspired by a series of un-organisational and stinking conduct by the said comrade. Mataboge and his few cronies claim to have sat for the REC [Regional Executive Committee] meeting on August 11, 2015 which was to the best of our knowledge unconstitutional and further took decisions that are way beyond the constitutional powers of the regional executive committee,” said Vincent Moche, ANCYL spokesman in Bojanala.
“This fraudulent meeting thereafter released a statement which challenged the decisions of the upper structure [provincial executive committee] to have the redeployed former municipal manager Mr Monde Juta returned to his previous post in Madibeng local municipality,” he said.
Moche said it was impossible for the lower structure to reverse the decision of the upper structure in the ANC.
“We therefore reject and distance the ANCYL from whatever is deemed to be the result of that so-called REC meeting.”
He accused Mataboge of sowing confusion in the Bojanala region by failing to abide by the ANC constitution.
“The REC held a meeting with the provincial executive committee [PEC] where a decision was taken that Mr Monde Juta will be seconded to Ditsobotla municipality. Two days later, Mataboge and his faction called a REC meeting that resolved that the municipal manager must return to his position in Madibeng.”
Mataboge was not available for comment.
On August 11, Mataboge told journalists in Rustenburg that the REC wanted the municipal manager of Madibeng local municipality to return to his position at the municipality, to “create stability in the region”.
“There are several challenges in the region with regard to stability, as the REC we have resolved that must be no change in government until election next year. All focus must be on the election until the election date is announced. We need to strengthen the election,” he said at the time.
