In his State of the Nation Address in May this year, President Thabo Mbeki said government would launch the gateway to "provide streamlined government services on-line" through public information terminals in Post Offices and Multi-Purpose Community Centres (MPCCs).
The President said sixty of the MPCCs would have been built by the end of this year and that plans would have been finalised to have at least one in each of the 284 municipalities, so citizens could access services at a more efficient and effective pace.
Fraser-Moleketi has expressed confidence that the BPGP project would also highlight the importance of information and communication technology (ICT) as an agent for development.
Phase one of the BPGP has recently been completed and access to the gateway will be possible at MPCCs and Post Office Public Internet Terminals.
The MPCCs equipped with the gateway would be Mbazwana, Sterkspruit and Tombo in Eastern Cape, Mapela in Limpopo, Atlantis in the Western Cape, Galeshewe in Northern Cape, Namahadi in Free State, Mpuluzi Mumalanga, and Leretlhabetse in North West.
Fraser-Moleketi called upon citizens to "consult this portal as a way of finding out what services government rendered and the procedures needed to access" them. – BuaNews.
