MEC for Social Development, Basetsana Sussana Dantjie has on Tuesday, 5 November 2024, came true to her word by donating a laptop to the North West older person’s forum, as promised in her first encounter with them.
Then, the forum had indicated to the MEC that their work is hamstrung by lack of resources, chief among them a laptop, which is central to record keeping and communication.
Receiving the laptop on behalf of the forum was the provincial and national chairperson of older person’s forum Kgosietsile Sehularo, who expressed appreciation for the gesture. “This gift is testament of a caring and reliable department”. We are very thankful for what the department has done for us. “We will be able to execute our duties in a professional manner and improved quality”, adding with a chuckle that if there are more laptops, they will gladly accept them. The laptop was delivered to the forum by the acting head of the department on behalf of Dantjie.
