[ NEWS] As the Local Government Elections draw near,and tensions running high on disputes regarding selection of Councillor candidates. The cracks between the Norman Mashabane Regional Secretary Sonia Ngobeni-Maswonganyi and incumbent Regional Chairperson Thamaha Dagma Mamanyoha have escalated, .

Sources familiar with the matter alleges that the Regional Secretary has accused the Chairperson of arrogance, prompting the latter to seek mediation from the ANC Limpopo's Provincial Executive Committee (PEC).

In response, supporters aligned with the Chairperson have leveled counter-allegations against the Regional Secretary, citing bossy and divisive behavior within the Norman Mashabane region of the ANC.

Notably, the former Chairperson of the Norman Mashabane Region, currently serving as Provincial Deputy Secretary P**e Shai, reportedly supported the allegations of arrogance during PEC questioning.

Insiders suggest that these developments could potentially undermine Mamanyoha s election bid as Executive Mayor of Mopani District Municipality, allegedly creating an opportunity for Odas Ngobeni to go back to his former employer as the Executive Mayor.

Furthermore, sources suggest a potential shift in power dynamics within the Greater Letaba Municipality, particularly favoring the Sekgosese cluster, with one of its members reportedly vying for the municipality's top position.

At the time of reporting, verification efforts were underway to substantiate these claims.

Against this backdrop, the question arises: Will the ANC secure a majority in the upcoming Local Government Elections scheduled for November 04, 2026? .

[ ] The residents of Rapho are rolling out the red carpet for Makgamatha after his knockout performance yesterday June 14, 2026, and it's clear they're loving him more than their annual holidays.

Makgamatha from Raphahlelo village and Tyson 'Thiza' Phooko from Phooko village, both residing in the Sekgosese area of Limpopo Province, have taken the top spots as winners and runner-up respectively.

But now the million-rand question is, can they make some noise in the final ANC Branch General Meetings happening tomorrow, Tuesday, June 16, 2026, or will they just be there for the free food?

And one has to wonder, what's the play behind the ANC putting forward two BGMs - are they trying to cast a wider net or to blindfold the masses? .

To add fuel to the fire, the Chairperson of SRDA and its Director of Finance just so happen to be bigwigs at Mopani District Municipality.
