ANC behind new Treasury MEC

The ANC is backing new Limpopo premier Dr Phophi Ramathuba in her decision to appoint a sacked senior civil servant to the critical post of MEC of Treasury.

Kgabo Mahoai was fired as director-general of the department of international relations and cooperation (Dirco) in 2021 after a disciplinary hearing found him guilty of cross negligence, gross dereliction of duty, a breach of legal obligation and irregular, fruitless and wasteful expenditure.
