The Free State MEC for Cooperative Governance, Traditional Affairs, and Human Settlements, Mr. Saki Mokoena, is scheduled to visit Rouxville in the Mohokare Local Municipality on 22 August 2024. This intervention follows a community-led shutdown that has severely disrupted essential services, particularly the town’s water supply, since 19 August 2024. The protest action was initiated by the residents of Rouxville, who are demanding the removal of the local municipal mayor, citing ongoing failures in service delivery.
MEC Mokoena’s visit will be a crucial fact-finding mission aimed at addressing the root causes of the unrest. During his visit, the MEC will engage directly with the political leadership of the Mohokare Municipality to obtain a comprehensive understanding of the situation. This engagement is expected to provide valuable insights into the critical issues at hand and inform the necessary interventions required to restore order and resume normal service delivery.
In addition to meeting with municipal leaders, MEC Mokoena will hold discussions with the Rouxville community. These discussions will focus on their grievances, particularly the demand for the mayor’s removal, which has been a central issue in the protests. The MEC’s visit is seen as a pivotal step in addressing the community’s concerns and finding a resolution to the ongoing disruptions.
Accompanying MEC Mokoena on this visit will be Mr. Sugar Ramakarane, the Head of the Department of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs (Cogta), along with other senior officials.
