Mahikeng – The farming communities that fall under the Buffelsvlei farm outside Ventersdorp
are among the JB Marks Local Municipality residents who are this week receiving key services
as the provincial government is rolling out Phase 5 of Accelerated Service Delivery
Programme – Thuntsha Lerole Reloaded, which will culminate in the handing over of
infrastructure projects and a community feedback session at Buffelsvlei farm on Friday, 07
November 2025.
The programme which will be led by Premier Lazarus Kagiso Mokgosi, will see the provincial
government handing over five (05) RDP houses out of a total of 1 500 that are being
constructed at Tshing Extension 10, and the handing over of ten (10) title deeds to deserving
beneficiaries.
As part of the Business Turnaround and General Dealership Programme, an inspection of
collapsed tuck-shops will be conducted at Ikageng and Tshing locations, followed by the handover of the Dunlop project site and the signing of lease agreements with beneficiaries.
This initiative aims to support local entrepreneurship, stimulate business growth, and strengthen
community-based economic development across the province.
In accordance with government’s ongoing farming community development efforts, twenty (20)
beneficiaries will receive vegetable starter packs along with essential gardening tools. Each
household will also receive two (2) JoJo tanks to assist with water storage.
In an effort to improve animal health and promote sustainable farming practices, animal feeds will be
distributed to identified subsistence farmers across the local municipality. Furthermore, food
parcels will this week be distributed to one hundred (100) beneficiaries.
The personnel recently appointed for extra mobile clinics and Emergency Medical Rescue
Services (EMRS) will be introduced to the community, this in line with government’s endeavor
to strengthen its health and community support interventions.
The programme will also feature the clearing of illegal dumping sites and the planting of trees,
thereby contributing to the creation of a cleaner and greener environment.
The Thuntsha Lerole activities will be led by the North West Premier, who will be joined by
Members of the Executive Council (MECs), District and Local Mayors.
This phase of the programme forms a vital part of the provincial government’s continued commitment to
accelerating service delivery, improving living conditions, and bringing government services
closer to the people.
