Government on Decentralisation

“One of the key submissions during Sibaya People’s Parliament was the urgent need to improve service delivery. Recognising this need, Government has initiated the process of developing new legislation on decentralisation. Consultations with communities and key stakeholders have been done.”

“The draft decentralisation legislation is being finalised for submission to Cabinet. This process is being led by the Ministry of Tinkhundla Administration and Development and is being supported by the Ministry of Housing and urban development.”

Each New Year brings a chance to start afresh. May 2025 be the year you reach new heights and conquer new challenges.

Wishing you a magical and unforgettable Christmas surrounded by loved ones.
