Ordinary community members and representatives of community stakeholders from Ward 3 had an opportunity to interact with government leaders during the mayoral imbizo of the Musina Municipality that was recently held at Nancefield Extension 2 open field.
The imbizo is a two-way communication system, aimed at improving service delivery and community involvement in the decision-making processes of the municipality. The event was led by Mayor Mihloti Ramoyada, her councillors and senior officials from sector departments and the private sector.
Ramoyada presented a service delivery report and future plans of the municipality. She added that the event was testimony that the government of the day was serious about its electorate.
According to her, the municipality is doing everything possible to improve the lives of local people. “We are building a gymnasium here in ward 3 at a cost of R2,3 million. For the first time in history, Nancefield community members will have a gymnasium right at their doorstep.”
She mentioned that they had spent R2,5 million to rebuild the community hall that was blown away by strong winds three years ago. “We know that people have a lot of service delivery concerns, but we are doing our best to resolve some of the challenges, despite limited resources,” she promised.
Besides individual community members who attended the imbizo, other stakeholders included the Moral Regeneration Movement, Nancefield Taxi Association, Department of Social Development, South African Police Services, Home Affairs and South African Social Security Agency.
