Title: Molewa: APRM Visit of Country Mission
Briefing notes for North West Premier, Ms Edna Molewa,
during the APRM visit of the country mission, Rustenburg Civic
Centre
Introduction
Following immediately after the launch and official handover of the
African Peer Review Mechanism (APRM) Country Self-Assessment Report
at the Presidential Guesthouse and our own provincial process that
preceded it, Premier is now receiving the country mission team to
the platinum province.
Process
Premier Molewa will then introduce Members of the Executive Council
(MECs) as well as District Mayors. Premier will briefly allude to
the remarkable nature of the APRM process in the province,
culminating in the comprehensive Provincial Consultative Report.
The Premier will remark that our provincial process was a
resounding success distinguished among other things by the widest
possible participation of a cross section of our people including
women, the aged, the youth, people with disabilities, academics,
labour and the business community.
A unique province
Being a mostly rural province, the wide participation of the people
of North West was facilitated by A Re Ageng, the provincial
National Economic Development and Labour Council (NEDLAC) styled
organisation whose work was further reinforced by (tribal)
volunteers as well as our Community Development Workers
(CDWs).
More uniquely, the North West provincial process of the APRM was
also distinguished by the fact that it is the only province to have
actively and fully involved Bogosi (traditional leadership)
throughout the entire process of the APRM.
Furthermore, our comprehensive APRM Provincial Consultative Report
shows amongst others that we have been very robust in our
assessment that we harboured no secrets and we answered as a
province honestly to questions relating to the four thematic areas
of democracy and good political governance, economic governance and
management, corporate governance and socio-economic
development.
Challenges
As thorough going as the provincial process was it exposed the
challenges in the way of high economic growth, sustainable
development and sub-regional economic integration. It would be
imperative for Premier to mention a few of these challenges
including high unemployment rate, jobless economic growth, cheap
