Truth. Fearless. Unfiltered.

Tonny Rachoene, the MEC for Public Works, Roads, and Infrastructure in Limpopo, is being touted to become the ANC Provincial Treasurer.

As a strong ally of Premier Dr Phophi Ramathuba, Rachoene's job-creating initiatives are earning him widespread recognition.

Rachoene's Dikgerekgere program has created over 300 jobs for young people, while Operation Tsoga Moshumi has revitalized the department's work culture. His Magoshi Fridays initiative has strengthened ties with traditional leaders, showcasing his commitment to community engagement.

With 590 jobs created in just 12 months, Rachoene's focus on job creation is paying off. He's also partnered with MERSETA to support emerging contractors, demonstrating his dedication to economic growth.

As Rachoene's influence grows, he's gaining support from key stakeholders, including the ANC Youth League and traditional leaders. His leadership style, emphasizing accountability and excellence, is inspiring a new generation of public servants.

Rachoene's rise to prominence is also attributed to his strategic positioning within the ANC. As a former Provincial Chairperson of the ANC Youth League, he's built strong relationships with key party figures, including Premier Ramathuba. This alliance has positioned him as a formidable contender for the Provincial Treasurer role.

The Limpopo public is taking notice of Rachoene's efforts. "He's a leader who listens and delivers," said a local resident. "His focus on job creation is exactly what our province needs." Another added, "Rachoene's initiatives have transformed our community; he's a true asset to Limpopo".

Rachoene's potential ascension to the Provincial Treasurer role is seen as a boost for the ANC in Limpopo. His financial acumen and commitment to transparency are expected to strengthen the party's governance.

As Rachoene navigates the political landscape, his commitment to public service remains unwavering. "My focus is on delivering results for the people of Limpopo," he said in a recent interview. "I'll continue to drive initiatives that create jobs, support local businesses, and improve lives".

The ANC's internal dynamics are expected to play a crucial role in determining Rachoene's future. With the party's provincial leadership contest heating up, Rachoene's name is increasingly mentioned alongside other contenders, including ANC Capricorn Region Chairperson and Polokwane Executive Mayor John Mpe and Limpopo Premier Dr Phophi Ramathuba contesting for ANC Provincial Chairperson position.

Rachoene's journey is a testament to the power of dedicated public service. As he eyes the Provincial Treasurer role, his track record of job creation and community engagement positions him positively.
