The Executive Council of the North West is the cabinet of the executive branch of the provincial government in the South African province of the North West. The Members of the Executive Council (MECs) are appointed from among the members of the North West Provincial Legislature by the Premier of the North West, an office held since June 2024 by Lazarus Mokgosi of the African National Congress (ANC).
Pursuant to the 2004 general election, Edna Molewa was elected Premier of the North West; she announced her Executive Council on 30 April 2004. [1] On 23 August 2005, Molewa announced a reshuffle in which no MECs were fired but most changed positions; the reshuffle also included a reconfiguration of the provincial government's portfolios, as safety was merged with roads and transport, finance was split from economic development, and tourism was split from agriculture to merge with economic development. [2] [3] On 10 May 2007, Molewa announced a second reshuffle, to take effect from 1 June; it affected only three portfolios and again involved no dismissals. [4] In July 2007, Mandlenkosi Mayisela was removed as MEC for Agriculture – a controversial decision which he contested [5] [6] – and was replaced in an acting capacity by Frans Vilakazi [7] and then by Darkie Afrika. [8] In October, Jan Serfontein was appointed as his permanent replacement. [9]

In November 2010, Thandi Modise was sworn in as Premier, after the ANC asked the incumbent, Maureen Modiselle, to resign; a week later, on 25 November 2010, she announced a major reshuffle of the Executive Council, firing five of Modiselle's MECs and filling an existing vacancy in the sports, arts and culture portfolio. She also reconfigured several portfolios, including by removing the social development portfolio from its earlier location in the health ministry and merging it with the new portfolio of women, children and people with disabilities. [12] [13] On 3 May 2012, she announced another major reshuffle, in which three MECs were fired and others changed portfolios; only two MECs were retained in the same positions (Magome Masike as MEC for Health and Mosetsanagape Mokomele-Mothibi as MEC for Social Development, Women, Children and People with Disabilities). [14] [15] [16]
On 27 June 2013, Modise fired and replaced three MECs who had been implicated in misconduct: Louisa Mabe, then MEC for Education and Training, had been implicated in procurement irregularities; China Dodovu, who had been appointed MEC for Local Government and Traditional Affairs in 2012, was facing a conspiracy to murder charge; and Social Development MEC Mokomele-Mothibi was being investigated for abusing the privileges of her office. Modise said that none of the fired MECs had been found guilty of wrongdoing but that their removal was "aimed at faster delivery and eliminating the need for us to answer for hang-ups". [17]
