Mamorobele, also the deputy speaker of the provincial legislature, emphasized that having two centers of power in the province is not feasible and would not advocated for giving women leadership opportunities.
“It would be unprecedented for the ANC to have a female Premier in the province and yet not support her as the center of power,” Mamorobele says.
Ramathuba is also supported by the current Sekhukhune Regional Chairperson, Executive Mayor of Sekhukhune and ANC Women’s league Deputy provincial Chairperson, Minah Bahula for the ultimate seat.
Dr. Phophi Ramathuba has been praised by many residents for her effective leadership in the provincial administration and is poised to become the next provincial chairperson in 2027. After the 2024 general elections, she made history as the first female Premier of Limpopo.
