The campaign aims to create and improve continuous provision and delivery of services to its citizenry, and to promote social cohesion and healthy lifestyles amongst others.

The province is using its public servants to beef up activities in all municipalities by also sending senior managers and members of the executive council to participate and monitor the campaigns.

The Premier joined the MEC for Local Government and Human Settlement, Fenny Gaolaolwe in cleaning certain wards of the hospital and assessed the its condition by interacting with patients and workers on the ground.
 
The Premier thanked the hospital staff for continuing to work very hard irrespective of the challenges they continue to face in their work place.

“I will ensure that from time to time I come to this hospital to see for myself whether the conditions are improving based on the interventions we will come up with,” he told hospital management.
Patients and ordinary workers asked for more of the cleaning and environmental activism initiative.
