Premier of Limpopo, Mr Chupu Stanley Mathabatha will launch phase four of the Provincial Expanded Public Works Programme (EPWP). This programme is one of government’s key initiatives aimed at providing income relief through temporary work for the unemployed.
EPWP is a nationwide programme, covering all spheres of government and State-Owned Entities (SOEs) by increasing labour intensity of government funded projects. The programme is co-ordinated by the Department of Public Works, Roads and Infrastructure in the province.
