The North West province is to establish technical teams on planning and one on water and sanitation, Premier Thandi Modise announced in her closing reply to the State of the Province Address Debate in the Provincial Legislature on Tuesday.
Premier Modise said that the Provincial Exco Lekgotla had resolved that regional planning meetings should be held to ensure that Integrated Development Plans and Local Economic Developments find proper expression in the provincial plan that part of the rollout of the National Development Plan.
““Making the people of our province to recite the National Development Plan(NDP) without seeing their concerns being addressed would show no foresight,” stressed the Premier in response to a call by COPE Provincial leader Nikiwe Num that people should recite the NDP.
On Num’s criticism that that the State of the Province Address was “too detailed”, Modise questioned whether Num is a leader of a party in opposition should not be holding government to account and representing the people who put her in the provincial legislature.
She said that Num spoke for many voices but failed to represent COPE in the debate.
