President Cyril Ramaphosa will on  Thursday, 09 May 2024, lead Government’s interaction - in the form of a District Development Model Presidential Imbizo - with communities and stakeholders within the John Taolo Gaetsewe District Municipality in the Northern Cape Province. 

Themed "Leave No One Behind", the 12th Presidential Imbizo promotes participatory democracy and inclusive development by allowing community members and stakeholders to voice proposals and express any concerns or dissatisfaction they may have about conditions in the district or province.

John Taolo Gaetsewe District Municipality is a rural district municipality which  comprises three local municipalities - Ga-Segonyana, Joe Morolong and Gamagara. Mining , Tourism, Manufacturing, and Agriculture and Forestry are key economic drivers in the District.

The Imbizo is directed at enabling successful implementation of the “One District, One Plan” District Development Model in which residents, traditional leaders, business formations, organised labour and faith- and community-based organisations work with Government across all phases of planning, implementation, and evaluation.

Preceding the Imbizo there will be a series of build-up outreach activities led by all three spheres of Governmmet in parts of John Taolo Gaetsewe District Municipality and across the Northern Cape Province.
