Esteemed Premier of the North West Province, Mme Thandi Modise, Honourable
Speaker of these august Chambers of Law-making; Honourable Members of the
same Chambers of Law-making; Members of the House of Traditional Leaders;
African-South Africans of the North West Province. In our South African parlance,
all protocols observed.
Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela is one of the ideologues and proponents of our popular struggle for freedom and democracy. 18th July 2013 marks his 95th birthday. The first Black President of a democratically elected government of the Republic of South Africa. At the moment, former State-President Mandela is old, frail and rested in his private life; however, we remain tireless in wishing him long life and good health.
The primary mission of the Department of Human Settlements is to restore ‘the
human dignity’ of our people as submitted by former President Mandela.
We must build descent houses, in the areas where our people are able to live
together; play together and work together as pronounced by former State-President Nelson Mandela.
Farther, our mission as Public Safety & Liaison is to provide safety, ‘security’, ‘comfort’ and ‘peace’ to the homes and homesteads as well as the hamlets of the masses of our people, as wisely enunciated in the dream of former
State-President Nelson Mandela.
