NATIONAL NEWS - Free State Premier Sisi Ntombela has informed the African National Congress (ANC) of her intention to resign from office on Tuesday.
ANC secretary-general Fikile Mbalula confirmed this during a media briefing at Luthuli House in Johannesburg, on the outcomes of the ANC’s special national executive committee (NEC) meeting held on Monday.
He said the premier informed him of her decision to step down on Monday evening.
“The province is processing that matter. She informed me that she is going to resign today,” said Mbalula.
Ntombela’s imminent resignation comes after she lost the chairperson position of the ANC in the Free State in January during the party’s 9th provincial elective conference.
Former Free State ANC interim provincial committee convenor, Mxolisi Dukwana, was elected to the position and is widely expected to be the next premier of the province.
