The Minister of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs, Velenkosini Hlabisa, has convened an inter-ministerial task team in preparation for the District Development Model (DDM) Presidential Imbizo, which is scheduled for this Friday.
President Cyril Ramaphosa will undertake the DDM Presidential Imbizo at the Umnini Sportfield in Umgababa in eThekwini, KwaZulu-Natal, on 8 November 2024.
In attendance will be Ministers, Deputy Ministers, Premiers, MECs, mayors, councillors and traditional leaders.
According to the Department of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs (CoGTA), the meeting of the inter-ministerial task team received reports on the state of readiness to host the imbizo, the province’s socio-economic profile and service delivery issues, among others.
“Various reports were discussed and the leadership collective from the three spheres [of government] provided guidance and advice on the preparations to ensure that the imbizo achieves its objectives,” a statement issued after the meeting read.
Friday’s imbizo will focus on enhancing cooperative governance and integrated service delivery.
“The DDM Presidential Imbizo is an important public participation platform that ensures the voices and perspectives of communities are heard to advance a participatory democracy.
“In addition, it brings government closer to the people by ensuring that they can engage directly with communities and it enhances active citizenry to build better communities,” government said.

The exhibition will provide access to essential services, such as the Department of Home Affairs and will assist residents with the issuing of identity documents (IDs), birth certificate registration and other identity-related services.
The GCIS will also host the Department of Labour and the South African Social Security Agency employees. – SAnews.gov.za

A baby was born in South Africa. The village was very poor, and the makeshift hospital didn\’t have some necessary equipment.. such as scales.
The father however, was desperate to know the newborn baby\’s weight. After quite a bit of asking around, the hospital\’s chairman came up with an idea.
\”Five miles west, there\’s a butcher shop. The owner deals with meat, he should have a rather precise scale. You could just put your baby on the meat scale, and the weight reading you\’ll get should be pretty accurate.\”
And so the father departed westward. After much walking, with his newborn child cardled safely in his arms, he finally arrived at the butcher shop. He explained his dilemma to the shop owner, to witch the latter replied:
\”Don\’t worry, friend. It\’s not even a problem, I\’ll check it for you, free of charge.\” And so he took the child to the back, where the scale was located.
The father heard rumbling noises, and some scraping.. About a minute later the butcher came back.
\”About three pounds boneless\” He said.
