All hands-on deck as Thuntsha Lerole is rolled out in JB Marks Local Municipality

Mahikeng – Ga-Mogopa, Goedgevonden and Boikhutsong villages as well as Tshing and
Ikageng townships which fall under JB Marks Local Municipality in Dr Kenneth Kaunda District,
are a hub of activities this week as the provincial government has already started to address
service delivery challenges across the local municipality, leading up to the roll out of Thuntsha
Lerole programme scheduled for this Friday, 05 September at Ga-Mogopa. This week’s
Accelerated Service Delivery Programme will be led by Premier Kagiso Lazarus Mokgosi, who
will be joined by Members of the Executive Council, the District Executive Mayor and the local
municipality Troika.

In a deliberate effort to promote and provide financial support to developing businesses, two
local entrepreneurs will, on Friday, receive dummy cheques from the Empowerment Fund.
Three RDP houses will be handed over in Tshing Extension 9, this as part of a broader
allocation of 147 houses in the region. In a bid to fast-track the issuing of title deeds to the
rightful beneficiaries, a total of 300 title deeds will be distributed across the local municipality,
with 10 being targeted for handing over during a community feedback session at Ga-Mogopa
Community Hall.

To boost local infrastructure and improve visibility and safety, a new solar high mast light will
be installed at Ga-Mogopa village, while the six existing lights will be repaired.
Among other services to be provided to the residents of JB Marks Local Municipality on Friday
are a JoJo tank and related accessories as well as a vegetable garden kit which will be
handed over to the Mogopa Satellite Clinic.

Aligned to the Social Relief of Distress programme, sanitary towels and school shoes will be
distributed to learners at identified local schools, while food parcels will be handed over to ten
identified needy households.

Road blading and potholes patching activities will also continue to be carried out across the
local municipality.

On Friday, 03 September, government departments, state-owned entities and the private
sector will provide on-the-spot services at Ga-Mogopa Community Hall, where Premier
Mokgosi will lead a community feedback session.

The Thuntsha Lerole Reloaded programme will be rolled out in two other districts as follows:
In Dr Ruth Segomotsi Mompati District, the programme will be rolled out at Lekwa-Teemane
Local Municipality at Utlwanang Community Hall, while in Ngaka Modiri Molema District it will
be at Matshepe Community Hall in Mahikeng Local Municipality.

Through these integrated efforts, Phase 5 of the ASDP reaffirms the province’s commitment to
efficient, responsive, and impactful service delivery.
