Pretoria-The North West provincial government on Friday held its Africa Public Service Day where residents were assisted with several services including social grants applications.
Residents were also assisted with ID and passport applications and with information on housing.
Held in Mokgalwaneng village near Northam, residents from Matlametlong; Disake; Kraalhoek; Modikela, Matsinyane and Mokgalwaneng received a range of services.
Roberta Tselapedi of Mokgalwaneng who came to apply for a child support grant for her child said: “At least they have saved us time and money for transport by bringing these kinds of services to us.”
Residents also received information on small business development, the provincial bursary scheme, tertiary studies, employment opportunities and a host of other government services.
Premier Thandi Modise had earlier said that the provincial outreach programme is aimed at strengthening citizen participation, enhancing integrity and access to information.
Modise has also said that the programme was intended at giving practical expression to the implementation of the Batho-Pele Revitalisation Strategies and giving due recognition to men and women within the public service who devote their lives to serving people. –SAnews.gov.za
