NORTHERN PROVINCE premier Ngoako Ramatlhodi warned on Monday that he would not re-appoint lazy or ineffective politicians to the provincial cabinet next week. Declining to name those accused of inefficiency, Ramatlhodi said he would only re-appoint MECs who had proven their integrity and who had a firm grasp of their portfolios. Anyone who failed to meet their mandates would be shown the door, he said. Ramatlhodi confirmed that provincial safety and security MEC Seth Nthai was resigning from government, but stressed this was for personal reasons and was not to do with professional performance.
