The North West MEC for Local Government and Traditional Affairs, Gordon Kegakilwe has assured members of the community that the provincial government will continue to work with the Ngaka Modiri Molema district municipality to ensure that services to the community are not disrupted following an incident which saw some council offices set alight this morning.
Kegakilwe said an assessment was still underway to determine exactly what has been destroyed as well as the extent of the damages. “At the moment we are not sure as to what else has been destroyed, however, we would want work to resume as soon as possible so to avoid any disruption to service delivery. We cannot allow criminal elements to hold us at ransom, thus we want to appeal to members of the community to shed light to assist the investigations,” he said.
Kegakilwe appealed to council officials to cooperate during the investigations period and to resume work as soon as the situation allows them to.
