Easier communication with govt’s new office in Nzhelele
The new Nzhelele Parliamentary Constituency Office was officially opened in Makhado-Biaba on Saturday
LIMPOPO – The Communication Department minister, Faith Muthambi, has warned office bearers attached to the Nzhelele Parliamentary Constituency Office to serve all people equally, irrelevant of their political affiliation.
Muthambi spoke during the official opening the Nzhelele Parliamentary Constituency Office in Makhado-Biaba on Saturday.
She said the office represents parliament, which also means copies of the president’s speeches will be available at this office. “Government is continuing to make sure that people’s problems are solved closer to their homes.
“The overseer of the office is Moss Tseli, who is a member of parliament (MP),” Muthambi said.
Tseli said the the critical function of the constituency offices would be to serve as centres of information on government programmes.
He said it would also serve as a link to government in an attempt to extend programmes of direct contact and communication, in order to empower people to become their own liberators.
This would also allow them to be active participants in an effort to build a united, non-racial, non-sexist and democratic South Africa.
“The central theme of the constituency work entails ‘Taking Parliament to the People’. It is in this vein that constituency office personnel are encouraged to have cooperative relationships not only with ANC and alliance structures, but also with government officials, non-government organisations, community-based organi-sations, organised labour and agencies that support small and medium-sized businesses, as well as job creation projects.
“The ultimate goals of the constituency work includes integrating the work of MPs, members of provincial legislature and municipal councillors with the programme of the ANC as well as aligning parliament’s oversight work with those of the organisation’s constituency work,” Tseli said.
