North West Premier Lazarus Kagiso Mokgosi is set to deliver the 2026 State of the Province Address (SOPA) on Thursday, 26 February 2026, during the official Opening of the North West Provincial Legislature.
In his address, Premier Mokgosi will reflect on the province’s progress over the past year and set out the administration’s vision for economic growth, infrastructure development, job creation, and accelerated service delivery.
The Premier will also account on progress made in stabilising provincial finances, improving accountability, and driving a results-oriented administration that is committed to building a capable, ethical and developmental state.
