2 October 2025- The North West Premier, Lazarus Mokgosi will on Friday lead the roll-out of the Thuntsha Lerole programme in Tswaing Local Municipality, which falls under Ngaka Modiri Molema District. Identified as one of the ten local municipalities prioritised for implementation of phase 5 of the provincial government’s Accelerated Service Delivery Programme – Thuntsha Lerole, Tswaing Local Municipality is experiencing several service delivery challenges, including inconsistent water supply and poor state of roads infrastructure.
Mokgosi spokesperson, Sello Tatai said through a coordinated effort to enhance access to quality services, Mokgosi who will be joined by Members of Executive Council (MECs), will officially hand over an internal road in Matshelapad. Tatai said as an ongoing endeavour to improve the state of local road infrastructure, potholes patching will be undertaken from Delareyville to Ottosdal, while blading will be conducted in identified internal roads across the local municipality.
“As part of the Title Deeds Friday campaign, a nationwide title deeds restoration programme, Mokgosi will symbolically issue 10 out of the available 1 282 title deeds to the rightful owners, while three completed RDP houses will be handed over to the identified beneficiaries.
“The provincial leadership will also undertake an oversight visit to the new Delareyville Bulk Pharmacy construction site, which once completed, will not only strengthen medicine supply across the local municipality and neighbouring health facilities, but will also improve availability and equitable healthcare delivery,” he said.
Tatai further said as part of the day’s programme, fresh produce will be handed over to indigent families in Matshelapad, Jachtkraal, and Skierlik, while 105 food parcels will be distributed to households in Thawane village. He added that in support of youth development, sports equipment will be issued to nine identified schools, while traditional attire will be presented to Agisanang Traditional Group.
“To enhance access to economic opportunities, the Centralised Supplier Database (CSD) team will be available on-site to assist with the registration, updating, and amendment of company profiles.
“In addition, integrated primary health care services will be offered to ensure that community members receive vital health screenings and support,” said Tatai.
He said in support of the clean cities initiative, the clearing of illegal dumping sites will also be undertaken across the local municipality. Tatai said the Accelerated Service Delivery Programme – Thuntsha Lerole Reloaded programme will also be rolled out in two other districts.
“In Dr Ruth Segomotsi Mompati District, the programme will be rolled out at Greater Taung Local Municipality – Pitsong Community Hall in Taung, while in Dr Kenneth Kaunda District, public services will be rendered at Tswelelang Township, in Wolmaranstad, Maquassi Hills Local Municipality,” he said.
