North West Premier Thandi Modise has appealed to the business sector, labour and other social partners in her province to be actively involved in the improvement of the provision of services.
The plea for unity and cooperation was the dominant theme in Premier Modise’s State of the Province Address that was delivered in the provincial legislature on Friday in Mahikeng.
In echoing President Jacob Zuma’s assertion made earlier this month in his State of the Nations Address that “No single force, acting individually, can achieve the objectives we have set for ourselves,” Modise said that the province should draw inspiration from the commitment made by the President for government to work with social partners to find solutions to the challenges facing the country.
“The provision should also influence the manner in which business leaders, labour and all other social partners also provide services to their service recipients. In this we shall discover that we all have value to add in one another’s methods and systems of making our Province the epitome of excellence,” the Premier stressed.
Modise made the call to all to join government in putting people first and said that all who agree with this philosophy shall adjust their mode of operation to suit the challenges the province face.
“They shall refashion their approaches to be more inclusive so that we can all take collective responsibility of our successes and imperfections. In this unity, I believe” she added.
