Imbizo Focus Week
24 - 30 September 2004
The sixth national Imbizo Focus Week took place from 24 - 30 September 2004. Twenty-two Ministers together with Premiers and provincial executives, mayors and councillors participated in more than four hundred (400) events across the country. This period was used to profile government commitments as outlined in the Programme of Action.
The theme for the Imbizo Focus Week was "Imbizo: Building a People's Contract to build a Better South Africa and a Better World!"
The Focus Week fell within Heritage Month, and started with a number of Heritage Day events across the country aimed at the preservation, promotion and protection of our cultural heritage and value systems. The major event was held in Kimberley in the Northern Cape.
Amongst other activities, in the Eastern Cape the provincial executive embarked on a door-to-door mass mobilisation, which culminated in public meetings across the province. The Executive also celebrated Heritage Day led by Premier N Balindlela at Magandla Great Palace in the Eastern Cape.
The Minister of Environmental Affairs and Tourism, Marthinus Van Schalkwyk, launched a National Park in Mapungubwe in Limpopo and interacted with traditional leaders from surrounding areas.
