North West Premier Thandi Modise to account for State of the Province Address
North West Premier Thandi Modise is to give an account of the performance of her administration and set the tone for the celebration of the 20 years of democratic gains during her State of the Province Address (SoPA) to be delivered in the Provincial legislature on Friday.
Although the SoPA will be delivered against the backdrop of distressing violent protests in certain parts of the Province, it remains the Premier’s objective to move the province forward in unity.
Premier Modise will outline achievements, challenges and stratagems geared towards tackling unemployment, inequality and poverty as they relate to the five priorities of government, namely education, health, the fight against crime, creating decent work as well as rural development and land reform under the theme “Working together we have done more.”
Modise will also report on progress in infrastructure development to unlock economic potential and job creation. Furthermore, the Premier will reflect on efforts which have contributed to stability, improved administration, building an inclusive society and endeavours to ensure good governance.
Strategies to tackle youth unemployment, women empowerment and skills development will also feature in the Premier’s presentation.
The occasion marking the fifth opening of the North West Provincial Legislature will be broadcast live on Motsweding FM, North West FM and All Regional Community Radio Stations as from 10h00 to 11h30. The speech will also be streamed live on www.nwstateoftheprovinceaddress.org.
