Who is the premier of mpumalanga province

In Latchminarain's husband Mahendra wrote a heartfelt plea to premier Mtshweni-Tsipane to intervene. On Wednesday the premier said she " decided to reconfigure the executive council taking a number of considerations into account". She cited the need to include members who "embody commitment, hard work, integrity and the non-negotiable commitment to bettering the lives of our people".

Mtshweni-Tsipane also moved MEC Vusi Shongwe from the department of agriculture, rural development, land and environmental affairs to the department of community safety, security and liaison which was held by Gabisile Shabalala. As Shongwe returns to the portfolio he had held in the past, under former premier David Mabuza, Mandla Msibi replaces him as the new MEC for the department of agriculture, rural development, land and environmental affairs.

MEC Thandi Shongwe was moved from the department of social development to the department of culture, sport and recreation while Lindiwe Ntshalintshali will be responsible for the department of social development. Would you like to comment on this article or view other readers' comments?

He contended, however, that there were issues arising in the appeal which were not "constitutional issues" within the meaning of that expression as used in section of the Interim Constitution. He submitted in this regard that the term "constitutional issue" as used in section and the term "issues of constitutionality" in section 12 can, although not defined, "only relate to issues contemplated in section 98 2 of the [Interim] Constitution, over which the Constitutional Court [had] exclusive jurisdiction as the court of final instance".

He contended further that where an appeal against a decision of a court of a provincial division does not relate solely to issues of 13 constitutionality, section 12 of the Interim Constitution is not applicable because section 4 , read with section 3 , provides that an appeal shall lie to this Court against a decision of a provincial division in any matter where there are both constitutional and other issues and no issue was referred to the Constitutional Court.

He pointed out that in terms of section 5 of the Interim Constitution this Court is required to dispose of an appeal brought in terms of 4 if it is able to do so without dealing with any constitutional issue that has been raised. He contended, however, that this appeal cannot be disposed of without the constitutional issues which arise for decision having been determined and that this Court will have to refer these issues to the Constitutional Court for its decision.

Mr Dunn submitted further that the issues which he contends are "constitutional issues" should be decided by the Constitutional Court 14 after this Court has decided what he calls the "other issues", some of which are factual, while the rest are legal issues such as the correct interpretation of section 32 of the Education Affairs Act and various sections of the Exchequer Act, no 66 of When pressed, Mr Dunn had some difficulty in defining the "constitutional issues".

Moreover he was constrained to concede that it is not the function of this Court to make findings on issues which are not material to its decisions. Mr Raath who appeared for respondent submitted, on the other hand, that it may not be necessary for the case ever to be referred to the Constitutional Court.

He submitted that even the issues as to whether second appellant's conduct amounted to procedurally fair or justifiable administrative action can be adjudicated by this Court on the basis of administrative law principles derived from the common law and supplemented, where necessary, through the radiating influence of the 15 Constitution via section 35 3 of the Interim Constitution.

Most Viewed. I also extend my gratitude to our frontline workers, who have worked tirelessly in the face of great adversity and in difficult circumstances to save the lives of the people of Mpumalanga. Their efforts will not be in vain. The Provincial Government will, in due course, honour and celebrate our frontline workers. As Mpumalanga Province, we have begun rolling out the COVID vaccination programme as we take the first steps to returning to life as we knew it.

We have completed part of the first phase which entailed the vaccination of health workers at two provincial health facilities, which are Rob Ferreira and Witbank hospitals. Once the next batch of vaccines arrive, we will complete the first phase of our programme that of vaccinating all our health and emergency workers and move to the next phase. In the second and third phases of our vaccination programme, we will vaccinate police, teachers, taxi drivers and those that are 60 years and above as well as those that are 18 years and older but with comorbidities.

This will be followed by the entire population of Mpumalanga who are above 18 years.
