The premier
of the Northern Cape Dr Zamani Saul led the youth day proceeding of the
Northern Cape provincial government yesterday in Postmasburg and did so as one
of his first activities after being re-elected as premier of the Northern Cape
for the 7th administration. Although the provincial government says the event
was successful, it has received negative feedback from some members of the
community who took to social media to express their grievances with the
progression of the event and not receiving that which was committed to them. Attendees
says the poster promised access to government services, yet those services were
packed up and officials left immediately after the Premier's speech, without
engaging with the youth therefore despite arriving on time and some saying many
were not able to access any of the government services that were supposedly
available. A notable out comes of the proceeding however is also mention made
by the Premier Zamani Saul of an upcoming Labour programme worth over R300
million which will be rolled out in the province, the details of which will
still be made known.
