North West Premier Lazarus Mokgosi.

Premier Lazarus Mokgosi should be reprimanded and forfeit a month's salary and benefits, according to the North West Provincial Legislature's Ad Hoc Committee, for allegedly tampering with the recruitment report and procedure for the appointment of the municipal manager in Naledi Local Municipality.

On July 3, the committee concluded its investigation and approved the final report, which has been sent to the legislature's speaker, Dr. Sebonta Francinah Desbo Mohono, for official presentation before the house.

This was after mayor Clifton Groep alleged that Mokgosi improperly intervened in the municipality’s recruitment process.

Groep claimed that Mokgosi instructed a former municipal employee, Thabo Appolus, to alter an interview panel’s report to block the appointment of Modisenyane Segapo as municipal manager.
