3 June 2008
The Minister of Public Service and Administration, Geraldine Fraser-Moleketi invites members of the media to the tour of a new model of Thusong Service Centres, formerly known as Multi-Purpose Community Centres, in Alexandra Township.
The tour precedes the launch of the 100th Thusong Centre by President Thabo Mbeki on 7 June in KwaZulu-Natal.
The tour will take place as follows:
Date: Thursday, 5 June 2008
Time: 10h30
Venue: Alexandra Thusong Service Centre, 8th Avenue and Roseveld Streets, Alexandra Township, Johannesburg
Through Thusong Service Centres, communities are able to access key government and business services closer to their places of residence which in the past they had to travel long distances in order to access them.
The roll-out of Thusong centres is a partnership between national, provincial and local government, the municipalities and agencies such as Sentech, the Universal Service Agency of South Africa, the Universal Services and Access Agency of South Africa, Post Office, Umsobomvu Youth Fund and Small Enterprise Development Agency (SEDA).
