North West MEC for Health, Sello Lehari has today made his contribution to the Nelson Mandela ideals of servant leadership by leading a team of stakeholders to revamp Ga-Motla Clinic in Moretele.
Those who attended the event included the Moretele Local Municipality councillors, Executive Managers of the Department, community leaders, nurses, and Community Health Workers (CHWs).
While addressing participants before activities could start, Lehari gave a background of his relationship with the community of Ga-Motla and the importance of ploughing back to the community he comes from.
“I grew up in this community and this clinic has been here serving our people for years. We need to improve on it and that is why I am here today. We are going to revamp its paint work, fix fencing, clean it inside out, help sort out filing and anything that needs my attention.
“I also encourage participants to be of service to the community because it is what Ntate Nelson Mandela was all about. Nelson Mandela International Day is the day that is recognized not only here in our country, but all over the world,” he said.
Lehari further said it is the day that even the United Nation recognizes and has it on their calendar. He added that in saying so, he invited everyone to mark the Nelson Mandela International Day by making a difference in their own communities.
“This call recognizes that everyone has the ability and the responsibility to change the world for the better. This is the day for all of us to take part in an activity that will inspire change and improve the material conditions of our people”, said Lehari.
