TAUKOBONG COMMUNITY ENGAGES LEADERS ON SERVICE DELIVERY CHALLENGES

Residents of Taukobong yesterday gathered at the Kgotla for a community engagement meeting aimed at raising concerns and discussing challenges affecting service delivery and the wellbeing of the community.

The Kgotla meeting was addressed by Kanye District Council Chairperson, Hon. Morapedi Kgosithebe, who acknowledged the concerns raised and emphasised the importance of continued engagement between communities and leadership in finding practical solutions to service delivery challenges.

Speaking on behalf of the Village Development Committee (VDC), VDC Chairperson Mr Mosala B. Mosala highlighted several concerns, including the completion of the VDC office, theft of water taps and electricity cables, resource challenges affecting the Ikageng Public Works Programme and the need for updates on medicine availability at health facilities.

Hon. Kgosithebe assured the gathering that the concerns raised would be considered as Council continues to explore ways in which the community and relevant stakeholders can work together to address them.

He also expressed concern over the increasing theft of electricity cables across the Kanye District, revealing that 44 cables were reported stolen between 14 and 28 August 2026. He noted that cable theft disrupts essential services and places an additional financial burden on Government and service providers, as stolen infrastructure has to be replaced.

Residents were therefore urged to take responsibility for protecting public infrastructure and to report acts of vandalism and theft to the relevant authorities.

On road maintenance, Hon. Kgosithebe explained that Government provides funding through the Road Levy, which is intended to support road maintenance and related interventions. He encouraged communities to ensure that available resources are used effectively to improve roads and accessibility.

Chief Education Secretary, Mr Tebogo Rapalai, encouraged residents to work collectively in combating theft, stressing that protecting public infrastructure is a shared responsibility. He further appealed to residents to treat nurses and other health workers with respect, noting that positive relations between communities and service providers are essential for effective service delivery.

Chief Registered Nurse, Ms Omphemetse L. Molefhe, advised patients who experience challenges or dissatisfaction with services at health facilities to follow the appropriate channels and report such matters to the relevant authorities for assistance.

She also urged parents and caregivers to remain vigilant against diarrhoeal diseases, particularly among young children and encouraged them to seek medical attention promptly when children develop diarrhoea rather than waiting until the condition becomes severe.

Meanwhile, Deputy Council Chairman, Hon. Biki Kalake, cautioned that medicine shortages can sometimes be compounded when patients collect medication outside their district, placing additional pressure on available supplies.

KANYE DISTRICT COUNCIL ADDRESSES EXPECTANT PARENTS AND NURSING MOTHERS

Kanye District Council in collaboration with Keitsholofetse visited Mmamokhasi residents at the Mmamokhasi Kgotla in order to educate expectant parents and nursing mothers on how to handle childbirth and aftercare.

The Midwife and Chief Registered Nurse Cecilia Ntsima shared that Sexual Reproductive Health Services are offered at the Mmamokhasi Clinic. These included Emotional Counselling, Offering of Contraceptives, Registering of Pregnancy, facilitating of Adolescence Sexual Reproductive Health services while providing a comfortable environment, providing Antenatal and Postnatal care and more.

Meanwhile, Senior Health Education Assistant II Dimakatso Ngakeng, highlighted the importance of breastfeeding. She explained that it’s important for nursing and expectant mothers to eat the right food with a lot of nutrients as its important for milk production and development of a strong healthy infant. She demonstrated how to breastfeed properly with the infant getting as much milk before tiring.

Furthermore, Principal Registered Nurse/Midwife Bobby Segokgo, explained the importance of partner support and male involvement during this period of the woman’s journey. He stated that men can pitch in by accompanying the nursing mothers or expectant mothers to the clinics when she goes for checkups and scheduled visits, assisting her with home duties. He
also said men should offer emotional care and support because these are stressful times for the mothers. Mr Segokgo encouraged the men to help with the baby as much as they can as this increases the bond between the father and the child.

Ms Katlego Phuu, a Counsellor from Keitsholofetse spoke on the effects of stress on expectant mothers. She noted that stress can bring about depression and anxiety. This, she said can lead to physical issues like Hypertension, complicated births and even premature death. Ms Phuu urged expectant and nursing parents to do light exercises such as taking walks and stretching. This, she added releases pressure and tension in their bodies. She further encouraged them to meditate and do breathing exercises.

LOGABA COMMUNITY ENGAGES LEADERS ON DEVELOPMENT AND SERVICE DELIVERY

Residents of Logaba gathered for a community meeting to engage with local leadership on key development and service delivery issues affecting the village.
