The imbizo also provides an opportunity for government to communicate its Programme of Action and the progress made in its implementation as well as provide support to identified municipalities under Project Consolidate.

During her visit, the Deputy President will be briefed on the State of the District, meet stakeholders such as business, non-governmental organisations and other sectors of civil society before engaging the public in a community Imbizo.
