Thusong Service Centres (TSCs) are one-stop, integrated community development centres, where members of the public get government services under one roof.

TSCs aim to empower communities, especially the poorest and most disadvantaged, with access to government information, services and resources. TSCs seek to equip people in a manner that allows them to contribute to their own and the nation's growth and development. The centres help bring government closer to the people.

The Atok TSC in the Fetakgomo municipality has 11 offices, two ablution blocks, a library, a boardroom and four storerooms. The centre was built as a result of an agreement signed in 2004 by Anglo-Platinum mine and Eskom rural development. The centre caters for the whole of Lepelle-Nkumpi and surrounding areas. The departments of Home Affairs, Labour, South African Social Security Agency, and South African Police Service render services daily except for Home Affairs which renders only on Wednesdays.

Eskom and have contributed R1,5 million and R2 million respectively in the building of the centre. Anglo-Platinum mine has contributed R35 million to the building of a bridge, water sanitation and a community hall in Sefateng village.
