The Department of Environmental Affairs will be celebrating 18 years of successful and efficient implementation of the Working for Water Programme in QwaQwa, Free State on Saturday, 30 November 2013.
As part of the celebration, the department, in synergy with Working for Water implementing agencies has organised a marathon, which will start from the Basotho Cultural Village (Golden Gate Nature Reserve) to Quick Spar, QwaQwa.
Participants in the marathon will include beneficiaries of the Working for Water Programme, community members, and other athletes.
This year’s celebration recognises the significance of 18 years of work done by the Working for Water in the management of natural resources, alleviation of poverty, job creation and social development.
