North West Premier, Bushy Maape is set to host a consultative session with leaders of religious and Faith-Based Organisations in Klerksdorp on Wednesday. According to Maape spokesperson, Sell Tatai in a statement, Maape will be accompanied by Members of the Executive Council (MECs) and mayors.
“The primary objective of the session is to find a lasting solution to challenges of service delivery bedeviling many municipalities across the province and to pray for strength in the fight against the Covid-19 pandemic.
“These include praying for families who lost their loved ones as well as those suffering from Covid-19 related illnesses. The session is also aimed at establishing working relationships with leaders of faith-based organisations to promote ethical leadership and good governance in the province,” Tatai said.
He further said since Maape’s election as the Premier, he has been crisscrossing the province meeting with different stakeholders to share his vision. Tatai added that later in the afternoon, Maape will also hand over title deeds at Alabama Extension 4.
“Over four hundred families will benefit from this initiative. Over the years, the provincial government has been on a mission to confer title deeds to residents who were previously disadvantaged by unjust laws in relation to property ownership.
“Meanwhile, the North West Provincial Government (NWPG) is hosting its EXCO Planning Lekgotla to assess the performance of the province in the last six months and prepare for the 2022/23 financial year,” he said.
Tatai said this also includes accelerating the delivery of services in the next six months of the current financial year. He said the first session will take place at Matlosana Local Municipality Ballroom Hall at 2pm, while the handing over title deeds session will take place at Extension 4 Alabama in Klerksdorp at 4:30pm.
