Maruping Lekwene

Maruping Matthews Lekwene is a South African politician who served as the Northern Cape MEC for Health from June 2020 until November 2025. He has been a Member of the Northern Cape Provincial Legislature for the African National Congress from June 2014 until November 2025.

Lekwene is also the provincial chairperson of the South African Communist Party (SACP) and the ANC's deputy provincial secretary.

Criticism
In December 2019, Lekwene announced that the trading hours of liquor stores in the Sol Plaatje Local Municipality would be extended during the ANC's 108th birthday celebrations from 8 to 11 January 2020. Under this notice, licensed liquor stores could trade for 24-hours during the period of the extension. The African National Congress Women's League (ANCWL) criticised this notice and called for it to be revoked. Lekwene later reversed the decision. ==References==
