North West MEC for Cooperative Governance, Human Settlements, and Traditional Affairs, Oageng Molapisi said he will convene a broader stakeholder engagement within 14 days, which will be followed by the community meeting. This comes after local residents closed the municipal offices complaining about lack of employment opportunities, maladministration, nepotism and other service delivery related issues. 

Molapisi further said the consultative engagement will give feedback to the community on the issues they raised. 

“We have met with the political leadership of Tswaing Local Municipality led by mayor, Norah Mahlangu and representatives of the community in an effort to address concerns raised by the community. It is in the best interest of the community to allow members of the community access to the municipality in order to receive much needed services. 

 “We are serious about bringing stability to all municipalities. Our interventions and support here at Tswaing and elsewhere, should be supported by all and sundry,” he said. 

Molapisi added that it is a demonstration enough for their commitment to service delivery and proper municipal governance.
