This is a list of members of the fifth North West Provincial Legislature as elected in the election of 7 May 2014. In that election, the African National Congress (ANC) maintained a comfortable but diminished majority of 23 seats in the 33-seat legislature. A new entrant, the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF), became the official opposition, winning five seats.[1] Also represented were the Democratic Alliance, which won four seats, and the Freedom Front Plus, which won one seat after having had no representation in the fourth legislature.[2] The Congress of the People, which had been the official opposition during the fourth legislature, did not win any seats, nor did the United Christian Democratic Party.
The legislature convened for the first time on 21 May 2014. After being sworn in to their seats, members elected the ANC's Supra Mahumapelo as the fifth Premier of the North West.[3] He succeeded Thandi Modise, who, though initially re-elected as a Member of the Provincial Legislature, was soon afterwards appointed as Chairperson of the National Council of Provinces. Sussana Tsebe was elected as Speaker of the North West Provincial Legislature, with Jane Manganye as her deputy.[4] Mahumapelo resigned as Premier in May 2018 and was replaced by Job Mokgoro the following month.[5]
Mahumapelo's resignation followed violent service delivery protests in the province,[6] as well as an attempted motion of no confidence in his leadership, lodged by the EFF.[7] [8] Indeed, the fifth legislature's term had begun amid political turmoil, particularly due to the 2012 Marikana massacre and subsequent labour organising on the platinum belt. From May 2018 until the end of the legislature's term, the provincial government of the North West was placed under administration by the national government amid a collapse of public services.[9]
