Potchefstroom-North West Social Development MEC Mokone Collen Maine, together with Minister Bathabile Dlamini, will today conduct a follow-up visit to Tlokwe, North West Province, in order to identify areas for further service delivery improvements in the municipality based on the challenges uncovered during her first visit to the area on August 2.

The visit forms part of Project Mikondzo – a service delivery improvement initiative aimed at improving access to the Department and its entities’ (the South African Social Security Agency and National Development Agency) services in the poorest wards of the country. According to the General Household Survey (GHS) of 2010, food access problems were most serious in North West Province where 33,3% of households had inadequate or severely inadequate food access. 

“This will be followed later during the day by an Imbizo where the MEC Maine and Minister Dlamini will interact with over 3000 community members” departmental spokesperson Vuyisile Ngesi said.-TDN
