Provincial Government fast-tracks Sekhukhune District offices relocation process
MOHLALETSE
The Inter-Ministerial Committee (IMC), established to oversee the relocation of the Sekhukhune District Offices from Lebowakgomo to Jane Furse, has made significant progress, following a successful engagement with the Ba-Pedi Mamone Traditional Authority.
The relocation process, spearheaded by the Provincial Government under the leadership of Premier Dr Phophi Ramathuba, aims to improve service delivery in the district.
The IMC, leaded by MEC for Public Works, Roads and Infrastructure, Ernest Rachoene, was joined by the Sekhukhune District Municipality (SDM) Executive Mayor Cllr Minah Bahula and the Makhuduthamaga Local Municipality (MLM) Mayor, Cllr Merah Mahlase, as well as other councillors, paid homage to the Ba-Pedi Royal House in Mohlaletse Village recently.
The Royal House welcomed the progress report and appreciated the work of government, indicating a positive step towards the relocation process.
In a statement, MEC Rachoene emphasized the importance of collaboration between government and traditional leaders in driving development in the province.
“We are committed to working with our traditional leaders to ensure that government services are delivered efficiently and effectively to our people,” he said.
The relocation of the district offices to Jane Furse is expected to bring government services closer to the people, reducing travel time and costs, and ultimately improving the overall quality of life for residents.
This move is part of the Provincial Government’s efforts to strengthen internal capacity and enhance service delivery, as outlined in the #LetsGrowLimpopoTogether initiative.
The relocation process is also expected to have a positive impact on the local economy, with potential job creation and infrastructure development opportunities. As part of the #21NewRoads initiative, the Provincial Government said it is investing in infrastructure development, including roads, to improve access to government services and stimulate economic growth.
