Premier of the North West Bushy Maape is deeply saddened by the tragic death of Naledi Local Municipality Mayor Neo Skalk, who died in a motor accident on Sunday 03 October 2021. According to the police, the Mayor’s vehicle was involved in a head-on collision on N14 just outside Vryburg. The Mayor and the driver of another vehicle were certified dead on the scene of the accident. Mayor Skalk rose to prominence in politics in 1983, when he was arrested with other chief organisers of student protests at Bopaganang High School. He was subsequently found guilty and was banned from enrolling at all schools in the Vryburg District. Following these events, his comrades fled the country to join the Military wing of the African National Congress, uMkhonto-We-Sizwe. These include Tebogo Kebotlhale and Khotso Khasu. He is one the longest serving Councillors of the ANC since the dawn of democracy.
