President to lead an Imbizo in the Cape Winelands

President Cyril Ramaphosa will on Friday lead a District Development Model (DDM) Presidential Imbizo in the Cape Winelands District Municipality in the Western Cape.

President Cyril Ramaphosa will on Friday lead a District Development Model (DDM) Presidential Imbizo in the Cape Winelands District Municipality in the Western Cape.

The President will engage with citizens, community-based organisations and businesses at the Dal Josaphat Athletics Stadium after his visit to the Vlakkeland Housing Project.

He will be accompanied by various Ministers, including the Cape Winelands District Champion and Minister of Trade, Industry and Competition, Ebrahim Patel; Western Cape Premier Alan Winde and provincial and district leadership.

The Presidential Imbizo provides a platform for the President to engage with communities on their experiences of daily life and service delivery by government.

To date, President Ramaphosa has visited five provinces, namely the North West, Free State, Mpumalanga, Gauteng and Northern Cape to interact with residents.

The Cape Winelands District Municipality is an necessary centre of South Africa’s agricultural sector and export economy.

It includes agricultural, industrial and tourism assets around towns such as Stellenbosch, Paarl, Worcester, Tulbagh, Robertson and Montagu. The area also features academic and innovation infrastructure, including the University of Stellenbosch.

“The President’s visit to the district will be concentrated around Paarl – seat of the Drakenstein Local Municipality- where community members and stakeholder groups will be able to place questions to the President and leaders from the national, provincial and local spheres of government during an open-mic session at the Dal Josaphat Athletics Stadium.

“This session will follow a visit by the President to the nearby Vlakkeland catalytic human settlement project,” the Presidency said in a statement. 

To date, R248 million has been spent on the project and 432 houses gain been completed and construction is underway on a further 323. More than 180 local workers are employed at this site.

Tomorrow’s Imbizo will be the sixth of its kind since President Ramaphosa gave an undertaking in his February 2022 State of the Nation Address that he will interact with communities in all provinces.

The Imbizo series is themed ‘Leave No-One Behind’, in line with government’s collaboration with all sectors of society to transform the country through a sustainable, equitable and inclusive economy.

A number of government departments and services will stage an exhibition and allow residents to enroll for any public services they may need. – SAnews.gov.za

  1. Did you knowthis about South Africa? South Africa celebrates its annual Heritage Day on 24 September. On this day, South Africans get together to celebrate their diverse cultures, traditions and beliefs. You’ll most likely find people enjoying a braai (barbecue) and dressed in traditional garb.

  3. I know that this is off-topic so I will just jump right in and say that MyZA Directory has been great for my business.

  5. South Africa is such a great country and an African Sunset is on my bucket list, do you have any accommodation and/or tour recommendations for the Cape Town Area?

  6. Could you perhaps tell me which political party is the ruling party in South Africa?
