Mahikeng – Premier of the North West Province, Kagiso Lazarus Mokgosi will reaffirm the
provincial government’s commitment to accelerating service delivery by leading the rollout of
Phase 5 of Accelerated Service Delivery Programme – Thuntsha Lerole Reloaded on Friday,
22 August 2025 at Ditsobotla Local Municipality, Ngaka Modiri Molema District.
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, the provision of water and sanitation infrastructure, sewer network upgrades,
roads maintenance, clearing of illegal dumping sites, fighting crime and job creation will be
reinforced at targeted and prioritised local municipalities which include Ditsobotla, JB Marks,
City of Matlosana, Tswaing, Madibeng, Kagisano-Molopo, Ramotshere Moiloa, Moses Kotane,
Rustenburg and Mahikeng.
On Friday, 22 August, government departments, state-owned entities and the private sector
will converge at Itsoseng Community Hall at Itsoseng township 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 which was established by the department of
Public Works and Roads (DPWR) during the 2014/15 financial year, offered job opportunities
to Expanded Public Works Programme (EPWP) beneficiaries then, before operations were
stopped more than three years ago due to several 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. Furthermore, more than 4 000 paving
bricks which are on-site, produced by EPWP beneficiaries then, 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 Thuntsha Lerole features which will be performed during the day will
include the fixing of high-mast lights, mass registration of indigents for Free Basic Services,
clearing of illegal dumping sites, law enforcement, distribution of agricultural packages to a
community agricultural project and a local school, provision of integrated primary health care
services as well as distribution of sanitary towels to identified local schools.
