NORTH WEST OFFICE OF THE PREMIER SETS THE RECORD STRAIGHT ON THE ALLEGED MISUSE OF GOVERNMENT VIP VEHICLE.

Mahikeng: The North West Office of the Premier can confirm that the vehicle registered KTR
824 NW circulating on various social media pages does not belong to any of Members of the
Executive Council as purported in the video.

The Office can confirm that the said vehicle belongs to the Department of Cooperative
Governance and Traditional Affairs and has been allocated to the Provincial House of
Traditional and Khoi-San Leaders to strengthen its work.

Premier Lazarus Kagiso Mokgosi has since issued an instruction to the Department to
investigate circumstances around the use of this vehicle on matters not related to government
work. The investigation will also include what appears to be fitment of blue lights on the
vehicle and whether due processes were followed within the relevant prescripts of the law.
