El premier del North West testifica sobre presunta trama contra él

El premier del North West, Lazarus Mokgosi, ha testificado ante un comité provincial, alegando que declaraciones juradas de empleados municipales revelan una trama contra él. Describió las comunicaciones entre los testigos como evidencia de un esfuerzo coordinado para socavarlo. El testimonio aborda alegaciones de conducta indebida planteadas el año pasado.

El premier del North West, Lazarus Mokgosi, compareció el sábado ante el Comité Ad Hoc de la Legislatura del North West para concluir su testimonio. El comité investiga alegaciones de conducta indebida en su contra, originadas en las afirmaciones del alcalde del Naledi Local Municipality, Clifton Groep, durante una visita de supervisión parlamentaria en septiembre de 2023.  nnGroep alegó que Mokgosi, entonces ANC Chief Whip en la legislatura, instruyó al ex empleado municipal Thabo Appolus para alterar un informe relacionado con el nombramiento del Municipal Manager Modisenyane Segapo. Este incidente ocurrió supuestamente en 2023.  nnEn su respuesta, Mokgosi señaló declaraciones juradas presentadas por Thabo Sejake, empleado del Naledi Local Municipality, Thabo Appolus y Modisenyane Segapo. Argumentó que estos documentos, junto con los chats presentados, demuestran una trama. Mokgosi declaró: «Ahora, escuchando la discusión de las personas que hicieron declaraciones juradas, me doy cuenta de que no responder a ese mensaje fue un instinto correcto porque probó que Apolous, Segapo y Sejake se comunicaban entre sí, estaban planeando la campaña ‘Mokgosi must fall’. Incluso los mensajes que hay están falsificados.»  nnEl testimonio del premier pone de relieve tensiones en los procedimientos del comité, al contradecir directamente las acusaciones previas. El Comité Ad Hoc se creó específicamente para investigar estas alegaciones de mala conducta.
