Officials from the National Department of Human Settlements, Water and Sanitation are this week embarking on roadshows in all Limpopo municipalities to address issues affecting service delivery.<\/p>\n
In a statement, the department said the roadshows, taking place from 19-23 April 2021, are in line with government\u2019s efforts to fast track service delivery and ensure that municipalities are adequately supported and resourced to carry out their mandate.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe roadshows are aimed at aligning and integrating programmes and initiatives that have been rolled out and synchronise them with government\u2019s overarching strategy of growth and development.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe strategy will also change the face of rural and urban landscapes, by ensuring that they complement each other with an emphasis on local economic development and building the capacity of the state to deliver at all levels,\u201d the department said.<\/p>\n
Teams will also visit water and sanitation, and human settlement projects in the Sekhukhune, Mopani and Vhembe District Municipalities to check on progress and challenges regarding implementation.<\/p>\n
The roadshows are meant to find ways to ensure alignment to the Medium-Term Strategic Framework (MTSF) targets and the National Development Plan.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe road shows will also interrogate priority actions according to the National Water and Sanitation Master Plan launched by Minister Lindiwe Sisulu in 2019, to ensure that there is water security and equitable access to water and sanitation within the province.<\/p>\n
\u201cThese sessions, as per Minister Sisulu\u2019s instruction, will provide platforms for the sector to unpack their priorities, acknowledge challenges and indicate how in the next five years, through private-public partnerships, there will be fast tracking of the provision of clean drinking water and decent, quality homes,\u201d the department said. \u2013 SAnews.gov.za<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Officials from the National Department of Human Settlements, Water and Sanitation are this week embarking on roadshows in all Limpopo municipalities to address issues affecting service delivery.
