meeting all mayors and municipal managers on a Provincial Advisory Forum
16 February 2006
On 16 February 2006, the MEC of Local Government and Housing in the Western
Cape Qubudile Richard Dyantyi will meet all mayors and municipal managers at
the Cape Town International Convention Centre. This is his last Provincial
Advisory Forum (PAF) meeting just before the Local Government Elections. This
platform creates an opportunity for the MEC and departmental officials to
interact with mayors and municipal officials on various issues.
This forum seeks to strengthen relations between the Department of Local
Government and Housing and the municipalities. The MEC in his address will,
among other issues, emphasise the importance of service delivery as from day
one after the elections and acknowledge mayors who made substantial and
meaningful efforts in their municipalities.
"This is a very important forum that seeks to strengthen the relationship
between my Department and the municipalities. We ought to create and maintain
confidence and respect for our municipalities so that we can have healthy
working relations as we share the common goal of rendering quality service to
our beneficiaries. Continuity on day one after elections is key to me," said
MEC Dyantyi.
This meeting will take place at 8:30am and all members of the press will be
afforded an opportunity to engage with the MEC on a media engagement session at
10h00.
