On June 28, 2023, ten municipal byelections will take place in Gauteng, KwaZuluNatal, Mpumalanga, and the Western Cape provinces, with almost 100,000 registered voters expected to participate. These byelections are a vital opportunity for citizens to influence local governance and policies.
In the North West Province, municipalities face significant capacity challenges in local governance. To address this issue, MEC Nono Maloyi, the head of Cooperative Governance, Human Settlements, and Traditional Affairs, has partnered with North West University to deploy 100 skilled graduates from various disciplines. The collaboration aims to revitalize municipal operations and performance, enabling municipalities to handle the intricate challenges of urban planning, environmental management, and public administration more effectively.
On 30 May 2023, MEC Nono Maloyi will give a speech during the North West Cooperative Governance, Human Settlements, and Traditional Affairs Prov Budget Vote for 2023/24 in Mahikeng. The aim of the speech is to present Maloyi’s plans and proposals for transforming local government, resolving traditional leadership disputes, and improving housing delivery. Members of the media have been invited to attend.
