The North West Premier, Bushy Maape said he has appointed a team of five MECs constituted by North West MEC for Social Development, Boitumelo Moiloa, MEC for Fiance, Motlalepula Rosho, MEC for Education, Wendy Matsemela, MEC for Public Works and Roads, Oageng Molapisi and MEC for Community Safety and Transport Management, Sello Lehari to focus on providing support for the mass funeral of all the deceased.

“This team will be supported by a technical team led by the Administrator and Director General in the Office of the Premier and HODs for Social Development, Provincial Treasury, HODs and Administrators for Education, Community Safety and Transport Management and Administrator for Public Works and Roads,” he said.

The deceased will be buried on Sunday at Ipelegeng Township in Schweizer Reneke.

Meanwhile, Maape said the North West Executive Council has also concluded a successful session on 2 March 2022, which follows the maiden State of the Province Address (SOPA) delivered by him last month.

“The Executive Council (EXCO) also received a progress report on stabilisation and optimisation of pharmaceutical services in the North West. The report reflected decisive interventions made at the Mmabatho Medical Stores, which include improving financial management and human resources amongst others. 

“This progress report was endorsed as work in progress registered as a result of the Section 100 intervention in the province. In addition, the Executive Council reflected on incidents of Gender Based Violence (GBV) in the province and reiterated a call for all government departments to prioritise interventions in this area as this scourge continues to rear its ugly head,” said Maape.

He further said the EXCO also welcomed an update report on the District Development Model Presidential Imbizo (DDMPI) that is to be held in Mahikeng on 12 March 2022.

Maape added that the imbizo, which is the first of its kind in the 6th Administration, will be held in observance of the COVID-19 regulations and will afford citizens an opportunity to engage with President Cyril Ramaphosa. 

“This imbizo will be preceded by build-up activities in various parts of Mahikeng Local Municipality,” he said.
