Mayoral Imbizo in Emmaus
The Okhahlamba Local Municipality recently hosted its second imbizo, a traditional South African gathering focused on knowledge sharing and community engagement. Held in Emmaus, this event brought together over 300 residents from various wards, facilitating direct interaction with key government departments and agencies.
The forum’s primary objective was to bridge the gap between citizens and essential public services. Participating organisations included:
1. Department of Home Affairs
2. Department of Agriculture and Rural Development
3. Department of Social Development
4. South African Social Security Agency (SASSA)
5. South African Police Services (SAPS)
6. Various municipal departments
This initiative aimed to improve access to vital services and information, fostering a more connected and informed community within the Okhahlamba municipality.
