The Alfred Nzo District Municipality (ANDM) held a constituency engagement session in Ramafole, bringing government services directly to residents and urging communities to prepare for the 2026 Local Government Elections. The meeting took place at the Ramafole Community Hall and formed part of the district’s drive to improve service delivery and strengthen civic participation.
What Happened
The session drew residents from across Ward 25, giving them access to key government services and information under one roof.
Several departments and entities participated, including DEDEAT, SAPS, IEC, SASSA, the Department of Agriculture, and ANDM’s Planning and Economic Development unit.
The programme also encouraged residents to register early for the 2026 elections, reinforcing that voter participation remains central to shaping a responsive municipality.
Official Response
Council Whip Cllr. N. Ndabeni said the engagement focused on service delivery, community education, and integrating public voices into constituency work.
“Our responsibility is to ensure people understand the services available to them, but also to remind them that their vote is their power. Active participation builds an accountable and inclusive district,” she said.
Community Impact
Residents welcomed the direct access to services, noting that such engagements ease everyday challenges and reduce travel costs.
Stakeholders agreed that early voter mobilisation and stronger interdepartmental cooperation will improve how services reach rural communities. The programme will continue rolling out in other wards throughout the district.
