Hlabisa to conduct follow-up visit to Ditsobotla Municipality

This week marks a year since the municipality was placed under administration.

Co-operative Governance and Traditional Affairs Minister Velenkosini Hlabisa has reported that the Ditsobotla Local Municipality in Lichtenburg, North West, is making strides in improving basic service delivery. Despite previous complaints from residents that national government intervention was not yielding positive results, Hlabisa is conducting a follow-up visit to assess the progress made by the municipality.

The municipality has been grappling with ongoing water and electricity challenges, which have persisted for a considerable period. Hlabisa emphasized that when a municipality faces financial constraints, it becomes difficult to provide services to the desired extent or meet the community's needs adequately.
