The National Council of Provinces (NCOP) has taken its flagship public participation and oversight programme

The National Council of Provinces (NCOP) has taken its flagship public participation and oversight programme, Taking Parliament to the People (TPTTP), to the Kenneth Kaunda District Municipality in North West from 12 to 15 May 2026.

The weeklong programme is held under the theme: Ensuring a People -Centred Local Government Towards Building Better Communities. TPTTP advances the NCOP’s constitutional mandate in terms of Section 72, which requires Parliament to facilitate public participation and conduct its business openly and transparently.

Communities in Kenneth Kaunda and surrounding municipalities are engaging directly with government leaders on key service delivery issues, including local economic development and job creation; infrastructure maintenance (water and sanitation, roads, electricity, human settlements, health and mining); as well as financial management and governance.
