boundary matters
22 October 2006
The Premier of the North West, Edna Molewa, and her Northern Cape
counterpart, Dipuo Peters, will meet traditional leaders on Monday, 23 October
2006, in Kuruman.
The meeting is a sequel to the public undertakings made by the two
provincial governments to ensure that all critical stakeholders are briefed on
the processes as well as the implications of the abolition of cross boundary
municipalities. The Kgalagadi and Frances Baard district municipalities used to
straddle both the North West and Northern Cape provinces. Following the
demarcation and legislative processes, the two district municipalities now fall
under the Northern Cape.
Amongst other things the two Premiers will brief traditional leaders/dikgosi
about arrangements to manage the transitional period as well as processes that
would ensure a smooth handover of traditional leaders/dikgosi to the Northern
Cape.
As a result of the disestablishment of cross boundary municipalities,
traditional leaders and their communities have to be incorporated into the
Northern Cape. The majority of these traditional leaders are mostly from the
North West and are situated in the Moshaweng Local Municipality.
Details of the meeting are as follows:
Date: Monday, 23 October 2006
Venue: Kuruman, Gasegonyana Municipality Boardroom
Time: 10h00
Members of the media are cordially invited to this crucial meeting, which
will lay a firm basis for a smooth forward movement.
