African National Congress Youth League (ANCYL) in the Dr Ruth Segomotsi Mompati region welcomes the deployment of Lena Miga as the new Member of the Provincial Legislature in North West.
Miga who was sworn-in on Monday replaces the late North West Cooperative Governance, Human Settlements and Traditional Affairs (Coghsta) MEC, Gordon Kegakilwe who passed away two months ago due to COVID-19 related diseases.
The ANCYL regional secretary, Crespo Menyatso said: “Miga is a disciplined member of the ANC who has displayed devotement to the development of the people. She has worked tirelessly in ensuring that the ANC remains the beacon of hope to hopelessness and the revolutionary parliament of our people.
“Miga served as the provincial secretary of the ANCWL and executive mayor of Mahikeng Local Municipality in the past. She was until recently part of the Support Staff in the Office of Premier and is currently the member of the ANC Interim Provincial Committee (IPC) in the province,” he said.
Menyatso added that the ANCYL will continue to fight for the deployment of young people and women by the ANC in positions of responsibility. Indeed our struggle will not be complete without the involvement of women, he said.
ANC Chief Whip at the North West Provincial Legislature (NWPL), Paul Sebegoe shared the same sentiments. Sebegoe said they are confident that Miga will make a meaningful contribution towards advancing the ANC’s strategic objective and development agenda aimed at improving the lives of the people through an activist parliament that is responsive to the plight of the communities.
“Miga is a tried and tested cadre who is passionate about gender issues, community development as well as socio-economic transformation. The deployment of this principled, hard-working servant of our people will enrich debates within the ANC caucus including the provincial legislature.
“She brings with her an enormous experience as former Provincial Secretary of the ANCWL, executive mayor of Mahikeng Local Municipality and a political activist,” he said.
