The Thusong Service Centres (TSC) previously referred to as the
Multi-Purpose Community Centres (MPCCs) are a one-stop, integrated community
development centre that offers a variety of services to communities. TSCs
empower communities, especially the poorest and most disadvantaged, with access
to government information, services and resources for their own development and
as a result, they help bring government closer to the people. The Limpopo
provincial administration will launch two centres, namely, Mokwakwaila and
Eldorado.
Mokwakwaila TSC is situated in Bolobedu, in the Letaba municipality and has
9 offices and a hall with the capacity to accommodate about 500 people. The
departments of Home Affairs, Labour, Social security, Eskom, Economic
Development, Environment and Tourism, South African Police Service (SAPS),
Agriculture and Municipal Services render services daily except on Wednesdays.
The centre serves 45 villages with an estimated population of 226 800 under the
Great Letaba municipality.
Eldorado TSC is situated in the Blouberg municipality, and has a building
with 16 offices and two halls. Departments that offer services at this centre
are Home Affairs, Agriculture, Education as well as municipal services. The
