Ladies and Gentlemen
It is indeed my pleasure today to report back to you at our tenth Annual Report Back Summit. The first KwaZulu-Natal Department of Transport Summit was held in 1996 at the Exhibition Centre in Durban.
The primary purpose of the Summit is to inform you about what services the KwaZulu-Natal Department of Transport has provided, what we are busy providing, and what we intend to provide in the future.
Since 1994 our government has adopted a consultative approach to decision-making processes. In line with this approach, four commissions were convened yesterday as part of this Summit, in order to encourage and facilitate public participation.
This gathering today provides an opportunity for me, as your MEC for Transport, to report back to you on the progress made in implementing various KwaZulu-Natal Department of Transport policies and programmes. It also provides an opportunity for you, the public, to communicate your views on how my department can improve its performance.
All of us present here today know full well that the foundation of any democracy and just society is a well informed public. It is well-known that my Department has a proud record of assisting communities and stakeholders to organise themselves so that they can be kept properly informed about new developments in order to take full advantage of new opportunities.
Our department takes pride in recognising the hard work of our various stakeholders. Through various awards we encourage them to improve their performance. The many trophies on display here today bear testimony to this fact. Later today awards will be made to the:
* Best Public Transport Bus company
* Best Community Road Safety Council
* Best Individual Vukuzakhe Contractor
* Best Vukuzakhe Association
* Best ARRUP
