The National Council of Provinces will from 26 to 30 August visit the Limpopo and Northern Cape to follow up on issues during its programme, Taking Parliament to the People in 2005 and 2006.

“Many promises were made to the communities out there during the first visit, so the purpose of this revisit is to check whether the council fulfilled the promises,” says Limpopo legislature spokesperson, Kenny Mathivha.

“The community will be given an opportunity to ask questions,” says Mathivha.

The four-day programme will involve visits to various sites such as schools, health centres, and farms, meetings with provincial leaders and public meetings.
