10 April 2025- The residents of Siberia, Mooipan and Weltevrede villages are amongst those that are this week witnessing the provision of public services as the North West Provincial Government (NWPG) is rolling out the Accelerated Service Delivery Programme – Thuntsha Lerole Reloaded in Mahikeng.
The week-long service delivery programme targeting the municipality’s rural areas, will reach its peak on 11 April 2025, as the North West Premier, Lazarus Mokgosi, will be leading the collaboration of various provincial departments, State-Owned Entities (SOEs) and municipalities in rendering a broad range of essential services to the community. Communities will receive on-site services at Weltevrede Sports Ground, where a community feedback session will be held.
Mokgosi spokesperson, Sello Tatai said to support agricultural education and improve local farming practices, a donation of mini vegetable tunnels, alongside a demonstration of planting of seedlings will be held at Renalerona Secondary School and Obakeng Primary School in Weltevrede. Tatai said in addition, a livestock handling facility will be handed over for use by 86 farmers in Siberia, aimed at improving livestock management and promoting sustainable farming practices within the community.
“As part of the government’s commitment to improved maternal and child health, baby nappies and sanitary towels will be distributed to nursing mothers at the Weltevrede clinic.
“Along with these donations, comprehensive services including health screenings, eye care, mental health support, physiotherapy, and nutrition and dietetics services, will be provided onsite to address a variety of health needs,” he said.
Tatai further said in an attempt to ease accessibility to public facilities such as clinics and schools, the blading of internal access roads will be amplified. He added that efforts to increase access to free basic services will also include the registration of indigent individuals and the distribution of energy-saving bulbs to local communities.
“The Centralised Supplier Database (CSD) team will also be present to assist local SMMEs with registration, updating, and amendment of their registered companies,” said Tatai.
