The North West Provincial Legislature will be hosting the Reconciliation, Healing and Renewal Programme to be held on Wednesday, 23 September 2015, at the United Reformed Church in Itsoseng, at the Ditsobotla Local Municipality. The event will commence at 10h00

This programme aims to bring harmony among residents across board towards healing the past which to a certain degree was hostile and violent emotionally and physically.

The Speaker has deemed it necessary that there is a dire need for the community to reconcile, heal and renew the people of Ditsobotla by actively involving the religious sector together with relevant government bodies.

This initiative premise from the previous experience of the community of Ditsobotla whereby it had violent protests that left the Municipality in a state of dismay and disarray subsequent to which the Municipality has been placed under administration.

The Ditsobotla area has been a centre of political feuds and battles involving most municipal officials and members of the community in their respect quest and desire to take charge of certain political positions.

It is in the strength of this experience that the programme seeks to bring about sanity to all affected parties and individuals through reconciliation. In essence emphasis is being made towards teaching those in leadership positions about the noble leadership principles of which amongst others is that of sacrifice that comes with being selfless.

This will also ensure that communities are afforded their basic right by the Municipality and will ensure effective service delivery and economic prosperity. The programme will be attended by political parties, faith based organisations, non- governmental organisations and members of the community. There will be various speeches by denominations in attendance and performances by gospel choirs to inspire the attendees.
