MEC Masuku to meet with community leaders in Thaba Chweu and Bushbuckridge
05 December 2012
The MEC for the Department of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs, Mr Madala Masuku will meet all Ward Councillors, Traditional Leaders, Traditional Councillors, Ward Committees and Community Development Workers (CDW’s) of Thaba Chweu and Bushbuckridge Local Municipalities.
This meeting follows the recent ones held in the Gert Sibande District and Ehlanzeni District in the past two weeks. It will seek to address the tensions that seem to exist between Ward Councillors, Traditional Leaders, Traditional Councillors, Ward Committees and CDW’s by forging and harmonising relations amongst these stakeholders for the purpose of improved service delivery. It will also enable the department to clarify the roles of all these stakeholders operating in the same space.
With all these stakeholders operating in the same space MEC Masuku has felt it important that they all come together and create a platform for them to engage on how they can complement each other, and their role in rural development.
Engagements in Gert Sibande and Ehlanzeni were very positive and the department believes that the engagements in Thaba Chweu and Bushbuckridge will also be positive in terms of building and strengthening the working relations amongst these stakeholders.
The media is invited to join MEC Masuku in his engagement with Ward Councillors, Traditional Leaders, Traditional Councillors, Ward Committees and CDW’s scheduled as follows:
- Date: 07 December 2012 (Friday)
