The conditions of the two members of the North West Executive Council (MECs) have improved to the extend that one of them has been discharged from hospital, North West Premier Thandi Modise announced on Wednesday.
Premier Modise is hopeful that both MECs will be fit soonest to carry on with their official duties. MEC for Sport, Arts & Culture, Tebogo Modise was discharged over the past weekend while MEC for Economic Development, Environment, Conservation and Tourism, Motlalepula Rosho was transferred to a hospital outside Mahikeng as the number of visitors she received at the local hospital did not give her sufficient time to rest and recuperate.
Last week’s bi- weekly Exco meeting was adjourned for about 45 minutes for MEC for Health, Dr Magome Masike and the Acting Director-General, Major General Dr Mokgethi Radebe to attend to both MECs before they were rushed to Mahikeng Provincial Hospital.
The incident started when MEC Rosho complained of a back pain and collapsed as she was being led out of the meeting to see her private doctor. MEC Modise who was escorting her collapsed minutes later. Stress and fatigue was suspected to have led to their collapse.
