North West Premier Thandi Modise says that she will continue to serve her country and do her work as Premier until the President and the National Executive Committee of the African National Congress decide otherwise on her deployment.
“Perhaps the possibility of the unity of the ANC in this province is too much –you must denigrate a leader of the ANC hoping to get noises that will herald the ANC coming apart for you to take advantage of? Perhaps your sordid partners amongst undisciplined ANC members give you the latitude to boast!,” quipped Premier Modise in response to Democratic Alliance leader Chris Hattingh at the conclusion of the debate on the State of the Province Address this week.
Modise said that her work is not to hold her MEC’s hands or gather gossip around but to marshal thought, idea, strategy, tactic, resources and energy into the achievement of the total liberation of the people of the province.
“My work is to make government deliver to the people. Not to amuse members who have not even begun to read and interpret the very Constitution they thumb daily. My job is to try and unite the people of this province black and white and rescue them from the grip of old systems. My job is to liberate women from the likes of those who think African Women are only fit to make tea in their homes,” Premier Thandi Modise
The Premier said that she will spend time at Luthuli House, in National Executive Committee meetings; at conferences and in the Defence review work that she does for the national government and will continue to sit in all Presidential Infrastructure Coordinating Committee and its management committee as often as she can.
