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.

It reinforces the importance of transparency, accountability, and public participation in government processes.
