Bloemfontein – The Free State province is set to have the third premier in 18 months.
This, as the incumbent, Joyce Mathae awaits her fate after being found guilty of contempt by acting Judge Mahlangu on the 16 August 2024.
Mahlangu’s judgment is on the premises of Mathae having failed to honor, the rule nisi handed by Judge Molitsoane who ordered the reinstatement of Mosa Masemene, and that order was not adhered to.
Unfortunately for Mathae, just like in the contempt case involving Jacob Zuma, former President, the applicant is the prosecutor which means on 5 September 2024, they will be facing Masemene who in her possession will have the WhatsApp text sent to Teboho Mokoena, MEC for Human Settlement and internal memo signed by Advocate Jacob Phahlo.
Both the text and internal memo show the judgment was willing-fully disobeyed.
The interim order was not appealed and judging from the motion filed, there were a lot of factual incorrectness that were not challenged.
With sanctioning pending, the ANC is preparing for life after Mathae, two names put forward; Sibingile Besani and Ketso Makume, according to sources.
Besani is a former Provincial Secretary and now Head of the Presidency while Ketso Makume is the deputy provincial chairperson and MEC for Tourism and Finance.
Who will it be?

I think it will be a great move by mangaung metro poor people don’t have place to stay even for business like he is having businesses in all the locations in Bloemfontein
Finally Mr Toto Makume will be able to set Free State free from corruption
It’s better when Kenny took the land at least we see he’s trying to bring entertainment and set up jobs for Free Staters. Instead of foreigner s who own the land while we have nowhere to stay. Vista Park is owned by Chinese through the money they borrowed Free State as a mode of paying their debt back. And many more.
The way I know Mr Besani he is a straight person who is against corruption who loved his province and its residents. He put people first surely he can put Mangaung Metro on map especially on service delivery he shew this during his term when he was provincial secretary
They are all the same. No one is better than the other.
This was bound to happen on the side of Free State Premier based on the fact that she doesn’t know Labor Relations Act, and this can be confirmed by her attitude when she’s visiting different government institutions and how she’s addressing the employees.
She previously threatened to dismiss employees without even following a due process.
Human settlement is in a big mess they can pay the service provider who built Rdp houses in Springfontein
