Adding to the chaos is a claim that the provincial executive committee could be disbanded.

Although the possible disbandment of the PEC could not be verified with other sources, Sowetan understands that hardened attitudes among opposing factions could eventually lead to this.

A PEC member claimed that the refusal to reverse the decision to remove provincial chairman Supra Mahumapelo and other provincial leaders would eventually force the national executive committee of the ANC to disband the executive.

The PEC member said: "This (Mahumapelo's axing) is an issue the NEC did not agree with the provincial executive over and equally one that the PEC did not agree with the NEC on.

"The NEC will intervene and might decide to disband the PEC in a short space of time."

Members of the NEC met the provincial executive on Tuesday and it is believed that secretary general Gwede Mantashe's repeated interventions in the province - seen by some to favour Mahumapelo - were raised as among those contributing to the current situation.

"Branches have a problem with Mantashe's intervention in North West," said the source.

"There is a belief that Supra is being imposed on us by Mantashe and that alone means that the NEC is facing a serious battle in this province."

The North West ANC has fallen into confusion following two successive provincial general councils that have called for Mahumapelo to be recalled as provincial party leader.

The second PGC went further, calling for disciplinary action against Mahumapelo.

Mantashe issued a statement calling the decision "unconstitutional" but our source dismissed this.

ANC spokesman Keith Khoza yesterday denied that next week's meeting was about the party failing to resolve the issues, instead arguing that a process had begun to address the same issues. - molatlhwao@sowetan.co.za

I am going to clarify my fellow bloggers on the political space in the north west...the people have spoken and these monsters have been pulled out of the PEC now the intervention that our NEC should apply is very simple and straight forward.
1a.either disband the PEC and allow an early Provincial council where leaders will be elected.
b.or 6 members of the PEC have been suspended including the chairperson therefore we can again fill in the vacant positions in the PEC through the same PGC.
We love our province and please give the emerging leadership a chance under the leadership of our beloved premier Mme Thandi Modise to do their jobs without having to look over their shoulders now that man is gone.
The ANC has done nothing wrong the only problem is us people,once we get into positions of power we forget what this organization stands for and we neglect our responsibilities.
I hope the incoming leaders distance themselves from practices that seek to undermine the needs of the people(like supra and his po.rns did) and really follow the legacy of our fore generations in the organisation.
Now the people of the North west are free from these thugs FINALLY.AMAMDLA
