Virtual Format

Media and Public Participation

Interested members of the media who wish to attend the virtual public hearings are encouraged to reach out to Namhla Luhabe, Deputy Manager of Communications at the North West Provincial Legislature. By providing a contact number and email address, the Legislature aims to bridge the gap between the government and the public, ensuring a free flow of information and facilitating open communication.

Accountability and Fiscal Responsibility

The North West Legislature’s initiative to hold virtual public hearings upholds the core values of responsive governance. It reinforces the importance of transparency, accountability, and public participation in government processes. This crucial exercise in accountability and fiscal responsibility sets a commendable example for other provincial legislatures in South Africa to follow.
