North West Premier Kagiso Lazarus Mokgosi will reaffirm the provincial government’s commitment to improving service delivery by leading the rollout of Phase 5 of the Accelerated Service Delivery Programme –Thuntsha Lerole Reloaded.
This event will take place on Friday, 22 August 2025, at the Ditsobotla Local Municipality in the Ngaka Modiri Molema District.
The provincial department said this phase marks a
strategic continuation of the provincial government’s efforts to bring integrated services closer to the people, address long-standing service delivery challenges, and strengthen public participation in governance issues.During Phase 5, efforts will be strengthened to provide water and sanitation infrastructure, upgrade sewer networks, maintain roads, clear illegal dumping sites, combat crime and create jobs.
These initiatives will target and prioritise specific local municipalities, including Ditsobotla, JB Marks, City of Matlosana, Tswaing, Madibeng, Kagisano-Molopo, Ramotshere Moiloa, Moses Kotane, Rustenburg, and Mahikeng.
Government departments, State-owned entities and the private sector will converge at Itsoseng Community Hall, where on-the-spot services will be provided and a community feedback session held.
Central to this service delivery-oriented programme will be the handing over of community facilities, including a community hall at Springbokpan village, a sports facility at Itekeng township in Biesiesvlei, a community hall at Tlhabologang in Coligny, and a new cemetery site at Itsoseng.
Included in the day's activities is a planned oversight visit and inspection of a brick-making plant and facility in Itsoseng.
This flagship facility was established by the Department of Public Works and Roads (DPWR) during the 2014/15 financial year. At that time, it provided job opportunities for beneficiaries of the Expanded Public Works Programme (EPWP).
However, operations were halted more than three years ago due to various challenges.
As an intervention strategy, the department has plans to resuscitate all brick-making plants across the province to make them sustainable, and to create job opportunities and skills.
In addition, more than 4 000 paving bricks, which are on-site and produced by EPWP beneficiaries, will be donated to the Ditsobotla Local Municipality for use in any of their paving projects planned on access roads to service delivery points and streets.
An inspection of a special maintenance project on road D40 - from Thusong to Itsoseng - will also be conducted on the day.
Some of the standard features of Thuntsha Lerole that will take place during the day include the installation of high-mast lights, mass registration of qualifying citizens for free basic services, clearing illegal dumping sites, law enforcement activities, distribution of agricultural packages to a community agricultural project and a local school, provision of integrated primary health care services, and distribution of sanitary towels to identified local schools. – SAnews.gov.za
