Thursday, February 16, 2012

Lebowakgomo - Limpopo Premier Cassel Mathale and other delegates have arrived at the Limpopo Provincial Legislature in Lebowakgomo, where he is to deliver his 2012 State of the Province Address.

First to arrive to the legislature was Vhavenda King, Toni Mphephu Ramabulana, followed closely by Deputy Provincial Chairperson of the House of Traditional Leaders, khosi Vusani Netshimbupfe, Executive Mayor of Vhembe, Florence Dzhombere and Executive Mayor of Polokwane, Freddy Greaver.

Mathale, who was dressed in a formal blue suit, is expected to outline how he will take the province forward this year, after Cabinet took a decision to implement a section 100 (1)(b) intervention in the Limpopo government last year.

The intervention was aimed at helping the provincial government to improve governance and financial administration in five departments, including the provincial treasury.

During his State of the Nation address last Thursday, President Jacob Zuma said interventions implemented in provinces to improve governance systems and administration would continue
