North West MEC for Human Settlements, Desbo Mohono, will table her departmental Budget Speech on Thursday, 3 June at the provincial legislature in Mafikeng.
In her address, Mohono is expected to outline the extent to which the objective of improving housing delivery in the province has been achieved as well as the challenges that confront the department in this critical task. In the context of a paradigm shift from "housing" to "human settlements", the MEC will seek to ensure public understanding of the priorities and the policy environment in which the department is operating.
MEC Mohono is expected to make a clarion call to the people of the North West to join hands with the department to ensure that the goal of providing sustainable human settlements that improve the quality of life for all its citizens becomes a reality.
Consistent with the commitment made by the North West Premier Maureen Modiselle in her State of the Province Address, Mohono will commit her department to clear and specific targets to be delivered during this financial year.
