A task team which includes various stakeholders has been established to address service delivery challenges raised by residents in the Ramotshere Moiloa Local Municipality.

This follows service delivery protests in the area where residents took to the streets and  blockaded the N4 road demanding adequate supply of water in the area. 

A delegation of MECs, Mayors and senior government officials led by Premier Kaobitsa Bushy Maape visited the area to find a lasting solution to challenges of service delivery concern and in particular the provision of water in the area.

Following a meeting with the traditional leadership, taxi association and residents, a task team was assembled to resolve all the challenges raised by residents. 

Premier Maape says the team is expected to meet on a weekly basis until a permanent solution is found. 

"The committee must formulate an action plan and come up with a mechanism to address all issues raised by communities. All villages under Ramotshere Moiloa Local Municipality must have a representative in this committee so that we don't leave anyone behind. A proper implementation plan must be initiated and will be coordinated and monitored by my office" said Premier Maape.
