 EASTERN CAPE PROVINCIAL GOVERNMENT

SPEECH BY THE MEC FOR LOCAL GOVERNMENT AND LOCAL HOUSING, MR G. NKWITI

AT THE LAUNCH OF THE TOMBO MULTI PURPOSE COMMUNITY CENTRE

ON THE 9TH  DECEMBER  1999

I’m here not to make a speech but to send a message from the government. We have been sent by the government as a group leaders from 
various branches / department by the Premier Rev. Stofile. The message reads as follows:

President Thabo Mbeki has urged all the provincial government that services of the government should be brought to the people for easy 
access to them. The centre that we open today is the service of the government so that Tombo people and the surrounding areas have access 
to these services. The people will no longer go to Port St Johns, Bisho, and Pretoria when they want information. Pretoria, Bisho has been 
brought to Tombo. We would like to thank Tombo people for allowing this area to be a star that shines for all people from KwaZulu Natal, 
Mpumalanga, to come and learn from this centre how this is done. We have heard that the government wants to open centres like these all 
over the country. You are the first people to have this centre. This means everyone will learn from you. Everyone is looking at you 
observing whether you are protecting this centre or destroying it. To sum up everything I would like to ensure Netshitenzhe who is sent by 
the office of the president, that among the things that people said is that they will ensure that no one destroys or steel the machines. 
People guard and look after the thing they like. We would like to thank all of you.
