Sedibeng District Municipality reported back to its communities through the State of the District Address (SoDA) 2011
On Wednesday the 20 April 2011at the Vereeniging Civic theatre, the Sedibeng District Municipality Executive Mayor, Cllr. Mahole Simon Mofokeng, presented the Integrated Development Plan and the Budget for the financial year ahead. This time the report was a historic one, in that, it was a platform to report on the municipality’s five year tenure since 2006.
The State of the District Address 2011 was viewed by the people of Sedibeng via satellite broadcast throughout the District. Four (4) satellite viewing sites which included Rivers of Living Waters Church in Evaton, Sicelo Multipurpose Centre in Midvaal, Bophelong Community Hall in Emfuleni and Ratanda Community Hall in Lesedi while the main event took place at the Vereeniging Civic Theatre.
The State of the District Address must also be seen in its context of a continuation of the Sedibeng District Municipality’s commitment to account to its communities on its achievements, with specific focus on service delivery including challenges experienced during the period under review and it is also used as a vehicle to chart the road map for the coming financial year.
The SoDA 2011 was unique in nature, given its content as it comes at the tail-end of the 5 year of the current political mandate following the 2006 Local Government Elections. The people of Sedibeng would be happy to know that this year’s State of the District Address stood out amongst others because of the fact that it took place in the background of important landmarks in the political history of our country.
These landmarks are this year’s commemoration of the 51st Anniversary of the Sharpeville Massacre; the 21st Anniversary of the release of President Nelson Mandela from prison and the 20th Anniversary of the Sebokeng Massacre.
“Working With Our Communities For A Better Life”was the theme of this years SoDA and this means that it has always been and it is still the commitment of the Sedibeng District Municiplaity to continue working with it’s people on visible and tangible programmes which will bring changes to improve the lives of ordinary people and communities in our District said the Executive Mayor, Cllr. Mahole Simon Mofokeng. Many took advantage of the live broadcast by watching the SODA at home on DStv Channel 901.
