 GOVERNMENT MUST COMMUNICATE WITH COMMUNITIES

Mpumalanga government officials confirm about their lack of communication between communities and leaders as having contributed to the service delivery protests experienced by the province due to frustration and lack of information on service delivery.

In an effort to bridge the gap, Mpumalanga Premier Mabuza edged leaders and communities will be intensifying communication through electronic media and print media.

DD Mabuza says all members of the executive and the mayors expected to interact with communities by giving constant feedback on government projects on radio every fortnight.

Premier Mabuza said, “A decisive leadership would be needed in closing the communication gap between the leaders and the people.”
