Sekhukhune This Week

We have spoken a great deal about our vision, ambitions and hopes to satisfy the one-million odd community of Greater Sekhukhune.

Our conversations ranged from long and short term plans, and we are always at pains explaining that no matter what adversity glares at us we will trudge forward to ensure our people get services.

We will always emphasise that the challenges before us are huge, yet they are not insurmountable.

It is however encouraging that our customers – the residents of Greater Sekhukhune District – think that we are doing a good job as far as providing services is concerned.

A research conducted by the University of South Africa’s (UNISA) Bureau of Market Research rates our performance as being good.

UNISA independently spoke to our residents to ascertain how satisfied they were with service delivery in our five local municipalities. The outcome was an emphatic ‘GOOD.’

This is a major boost to our confidence, more so because these plaudits come directly from the people we serve.

Lastly, GSDM is also pleased with the attendance at the Integrated Development Programme (IDP) consultation meetings this week.

Our communities converged at five venues to influence the allocation of budgets for various projects.

The IDP consultation process was a resounding success. The proposed budget is R649, 318, 342.

We have no qualms that at the end of the whole process, our communities would have had their say.

Many thanks.
