The newly-appointed North West MEC for Department of Community Safety and Transport Management, Wessels Morweng has vowed to prioritise the fight against crime. Morweng, who comes from Moshaneng village, near Lehurutshe, he is a Communication graduate from the North West Univesity (Mafikeng Campus).
Despite his relatively young age, he is an experienced civil servant and quite versed with socio-economic challenges in the province. Morweng is a former Director for Recreation Management at the Department of Arts, Culture, Sports and Recreation, where he also served as a Media Liaison Officer (MLO) before becoming Head of MEC Office.
Morweng had recently been an acting CEO of the Mmabana Foundation. He already knows the task at hand and knows what is expected of him.
“You don’t need to read any documents, nor listen to the news to know that our communities are complaining about high crime levels. Before I am a Member of the Executive Council (MEC), I am a citizen and a member of the community.
“Therefore, I know how crime affects the community. My message is simple, arrest all those who are terrorising our communities. The road ahead will not be easy, but collectively pulling together with men and woman around me, we shall overcome,” said Morweng.
Morweng on Monday, met with the Execuive Management Committee of the Department.
