WELCOME to the second edition of Sekhukhune This Week

We hope you are moving along with us in our vision to get you the most recent and accurate government news in our district. This is your resource.

As you will see from our stories and media releases in this website, Greater Sekhukhune District Municipality (GSDM) has big plans and is trying its best to bring development in
this poverty-stricken district.

It is however with great sadness and disappointment that we witness our efforts being undermined by criminals in our midst.

Water is undoubtedly the most basic service needed for household use and economic development, but as you might have noted from our executive mayor Cllr Namane Masemola’s State of the District Address (Soda) last week, criminals are sabotaging
our plans to provide water to our communities by stealing water pumps.

This may sound like a scene from a movie, but it is happening in real life.
We are imploring members of our communities to co-operate with us and report this
theft to the police.

On a positive note, the meeting around the establishment of hydro-electricity power station did take place this week (see story and media release).

Once completed, this development will go a long way in providing another basic service
– electricity – to our rural households.

Plans to establish the Sekhukhune Development Agency (Seda) are also going well.

This will be the vehicle to drive economic growth in the district, and enable us to achieve goals set out in our 2025 Growth and Development Strategy.

Till next week.
