A BOOST FOR MAHIKENG LOCAL MUNICIPALITY AS RURAL RESIDENTS BECOME BENEFICIARIES OF ESSENTIAL SERVICES – THUNTSHA LEROLE RELOADED

Mahikeng – Residents of Siberia, Mooipan and Weltevrede villages are amongst those that
are this week witnessing the provision of public services as the provincial government is rolling
out the Accelerated Service Delivery Programme – Thuntsha Lerole Reloaded in Mahikeng
Local Municipality, which falls under Ngaka Modiri Molema District Municipality.
The week-long service delivery programme targeting the municipality’s rural areas will reach
its peak tomorrow, Friday, 11 April 2025, as Premier of the North West, Lazarus Kagiso
Mokgosi will be leading the collaboration of various provincial departments, state-owned
entities and municipalities in rendering a broad range of essential services to the community.
Communities will receive on-site services at Weltevrede Sports Ground, where a Community
Feedback session will be held.
To support agricultural education and improve local farming practices, a donation of mini
vegetable tunnels, alongside a demonstration of planting of seedlings will be held at
Renalerona Secondary School and Obakeng Primary School in Weltevrede.
Additionally, a livestock handling facility will be handed over for use by 86 farmers in Siberia, aimed at
improving livestock management and promoting sustainable farming practices within the
community.
As part of government’s commitment to improved maternal and child health, baby nappies and
sanitary towels will be distributed to nursing mothers at the Weltevrede Clinic. Along with these
donations, comprehensive services including health screenings, eye care, mental health
support, physiotherapy, and nutrition and dietetics services, will be provided onsite to address
a variety of health needs.
In an attempt to ease accessibility to public facilities such as clinics and schools, the blading of
internal access roads will be amplified. Efforts to increase access to Free Basic Services will
also include the registration of indigent individuals and the distribution of energy-saving bulbs
to local communities.
The Centralised Supplier Database team will also be present to assist local SMMEs with
registration, updating, and amendment of their registered companies.
