“We want to extend a heartfelt thank you to the community of Ugu District for attending and participating in the TLTP. Their presence and participation allowed both the Legislature and Provincial government an opportunity to report back on progress made as well as gather fresh views which is among some key features of a true democracy. The 2023 Multiparty and Taking Legislature to the People (TLTP) in the Ugu District, allowed the Legislature to track the progress on the implementation of the National Development Plan (NDP), KZN development strategy known as the Provincial Growth and Development Plan (PGDP),” said Boyce.

Members of the public came out in numbers for the programme at the Ugu Sports and Leisure Centre.
