This will supplement the Municipalities own sustainable rural development programme.

A door-to-door programme has been actioned for profiling household's needs in order to ensure that the poorest household members are captured on a database, in order to provide shared intervention for co-ordinated assistance across departments (Ward 2, 6 and 8 are the priority wards in the initial phase).
