The North West Provincial Executive Council (Exco) has wished the two Members of the Executive Council (MECs) who collapsed minutes after the other during the Exco sitting held in the Dr. Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela Exco Boardroom in Mahikeng on Wednesday a speedy recovery.
In assuring the public that both MECs' conditions were stable after they were rushed to hospital for further medical attention and treatment, Premier Thandi Modise appealed for calm.
“Programmes of MEC for Economic Development, Conservation, Environment and Tourism, Motlalepula Rosho and MEC for Sport,Arts and Culture, Tebogo Modise had been quite hectic in recent months that stress and fatigue are suspected to have led to their collapse,” said Premier Modise who was chairing the Exco meeting.
The Premier called on people in the province to join Exco in praying for their total restoration and well-being. The bi-weekly meeting was adjourned for about 45 minutes for the doctors in the meeting, 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.
