Taking government services to the people
The people had access to government services without having to stand in long queues.
The KZN Legislature held a two-day sitting at Ugu Sports and Leisure Centre last week, as part of its annual public participation programme of taking the legislature to the people.
The programme was attended by Members of the Legislature, Members of the Executive Council, provincial government departments, councillors, Amakhosi and the community who engaged with the leaders.
People had an opportunity to access government services without having to stand in long queues as they would do at the local offices of the Department of Home Affairs, clinics and more.
Also, members of the community and non-profit organisations who are part of the agricultural sector had the opportunity to set up pop-up stands to showcase some of their merchandise.
A parent, Princess Luthuli came with her two sons, Lusanda and Andiswa Luthuli for their ID applications.
“Accessing the Department of Home Affairs services was made easy for us. I have been to the Port Shepstone offices more than three times, only to go back home without getting to the front as a result of long queues. I am grateful that these services were brought to the people for free. Thanks to the KZN Legislature for making it easy for us, “said Luthuli.
The people also had access to health services where they were seen by nurses offering diabetes screening and more.
