The minister of Social Development, Lindiwe Zulu, donated refurbished furniture and computers to public schools in Welkom.
Accompanied by the MEC for Social Development, Mamiki Qabathe, and the executive mayor of the Lejweleputswa District Municipality, Veronica Ntakumbana, Zulu on Saturday (05/11) donated the furniture in her capacity as a district champion in the area.
The donations comprised chairs, office tables and refurbished computers of the National Department of Social Development.
The furniture will go a long way towards refurbishing some public schools in the Lejweleputswa district.
This initiative is part of a District Development Model (DDM), which aims to improve the coherence and impact of government service delivery, focusing on 44 districts and eight metros around the country.
The DDM encourages all the three spheres of government to coordinate, integrate and mobilise the capacity and resources of government and civil society, including business, labour and community, in pursuit of inclusive growth and job creation.
