The members of the Eastern Cape House of Traditional Leaders will be gathering on 12 to 13 April 2010 to debate the premier's speech delivered during the official opening of the house held on the 5 March 2010.
Among the issues that members will deliberate on is the premier's statement on the role the House and Traditional Leaders in general should play in supporting government in launching rural development programmes in their areas.
