FORMER SABC chief operating officer (COO) and leader of the African Content Movement (ACM), Hlaudi Motsoeneng, has dismissed a party deployee at the struggling Maluti-a-Phofung Municipality in the Free State with immediate effect.
Motsoeneng removed councillor Tumelo Thulo (34), who was the chairman of the Municipal Public Accounts Committee (MPAC).
Isaac Letswaka, who is ACM's deputy president, said the councillor has been relieved of his duties as MPAC chairman and as a party deployee in the municipality.

"We're not in a position to disclose reasons for recalling Thulo. We acknowledge his hard work in his strategic position as MPAC chair. He has achieved a lot in a short period of time.
"However, due to unforeseen circumstances, we had to remove him. We'll soon announce his successor who has the capacity to run that office. He'll be introduced during the next council sitting," Letswaka said.
Thulo was known as one of the youngest and fearless leaders who filed a motion of no confidence to remove the former mayor, Gilbert Mokotso.
He was appointed as MPAC chairman during a coalition government formed after the 2021 municipal elections, where no party achieved an outright majority.
Thulo is the third councillor to be removed by the party.
