Spokesperson for the office of the Premier, Sello Tatai, says Maape has been cleared to resume duty. Premier Maape has since advised that he has sufficiently recovered and is [ready] to resume his duties with effect from next week Monday. His program and engagement with stakeholders will be communicated in due course.”
“Acting Premier Nono Maloyi would like to take this opportunity to thank colleagues in the North West and executive counsel with all stakeholders for their support and well wishes during Premier Maape’s recovery,” says Tatai.
