THE government’s war on poverty comes to Plettenberg Bay today, with the arrival of Deputy President Kgalema Motlanthe at the head of a high- powered delegation of national Cabinet ministers, the provincial premier, deputy ministers, Western Cape MECs and local politicians.
The Anti-Poverty Campaign was launched in the Eden District, the poorest region in the Western Cape, two years ago and seeks to uplift impoverished communities.
Motlanthe will be accompanied by Western Cape Premier Helen Zille, Human Settlements Minister Tokyo Sexwale, Rural Development and Land Reform Minister Gugile Nkwinti, Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan, Health Minister Dr Aaron Motsoaledi, Economic Development Minister Ebrahim Patel, Public Works Minister Jeff Doidge, Trade and Industry Minister Rob Davies, Basic Education Minister Angie Motshekga and Public Service and Administration Deputy Minister Roy Padayachie.
Other top-ranking politicians and dignitaries attending the two-day proceedings include Western Cape Economic Development MEC Alan Winde, Social Development MEC Ivan Meyer, Housing MEC Bonginkosi Madikizela, Eden District Mayor Fareed Stemmet and Bitou Mayor Lulama Mvimbi.
The visit forms part of the government’s campaign to fast-track delivery to the poorest of the poor.
