LEKWA-TEMANE – The Economic Freedom Fighters in the North West Province has welcomed the resolution to formalize all the informal settlements in the Municipality on Monday, 5th December, 2022.

poor masses of this country and focused their attention in satisfying the minority
capitalist class of this country”, the statement further said.

committed itself to being the only weapon left in the hands of the poor people of South
Africa and indeed, that weapon continues to be used effectively.
“We are delighted by the successful passing of this motion as the people of Extension
12 and 13 in Boitumelong and the people of Extension 4 in Geluksoord, are going to
be formalized after staying in informal and unrecognized settlements for more than 7
years with government’s full knowledge of their existence. We believe that this is a giant step in the right direction to ensure that our people areprovided with quality services as it will ensure that the Municipality promotes social and economic development together with a safe and healthy environment as contained in the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa.The EFF wrote.
