The Gauteng Provincial Government is to continue strengthening service
delivery in communities with the opening of Gauteng's 30th Thusong Service
Centre in Impumelelo, Devon.
The Impumelelo Thusong Service Centre launch is in line with Premier
Mbhazima Shilowa's commitment to have 40 Thusong Service Centres, formerly
known as MPCCs, in Gauteng by 2009.
The local council mayoral committee, ward councillors and officials from the
provincial and local government will be present.
Impumelelo is a rural area in the Lesedi Local Municipality. Lesedi spans an
area which is largely rural, with two towns situated within its border, namely
Heidelberg in the western part, and Devon on its eastern border, approximately
35 km from Nigel.
The centre is in line with government's commitment to bringing services
closer to people where they live. The Thusong Service Centres gives communities
one-stop access to government information and services to improve their
lives.
Services from non-governmental organisations, parastatals and business are
also offered. Instead of having to travel to many different offices, residents
can go to one place to have most of their needs met.
Thusong Service Centres represent a dynamic partnership between government
and the people to build a better life.
Details for the launch are as follows:
