Limpopo MEC for Public Works, Roads and Infrastructure, Tonny Rachoene, has emphasized the importance of collaboration among municipalities and government departments to achieve improved service delivery in communities. MEC Rachoene, who is the Champion of the District Development Model (DDM) in the Vhembe District, made the call during a ministerial session in Makwarela outside Thohoyandou.
The DDM, according to MEC Rachoene, creates a platform for government to recommit its determination to render services and be accountable to the people. The model provides a framework for government departments and municipalities to work together towards a common goal of improving the lives of Limpopians. By working collaboratively, government can ensure that resources are utilized efficiently and effectively to address the needs of communities.
MEC Rachoene highlighted the importance of a single voice, plan, and budget in achieving improved service delivery. The DDM, he said, gives government the tools and mandate to respond to the needs of communities with one voice, one plan, and one budget. This approach, he emphasized, compels government departments and municipalities to plan together, implement together, and report back together.
The DDM is not just a model, but a commitment to accountability and transparency in government. By working together and reporting back to the people, government can ensure that it is held accountable for its actions and decisions. MEC Rachoene's call for collaboration is a testament to the Department's commitment to transparency and accountability.

The ministerial session, which was attended by the Deputy Minister of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs, Dr. Dickson Masemola, and MEC Basikopo Makamu, the MEC for Cooperative Governance, Human Settlements and Traditional Affairs, provided a platform for stakeholders to engage on issues of service delivery and the state of municipalities in the district. The session highlighted the importance of stakeholder engagement in ensuring that government initiatives are responsive to the needs of communities.
MEC Rachoene's call for collaboration is a call to action for all government departments and municipalities to work together towards a common goal of improving service delivery. By working together, government can ensure that resources are utilized efficiently and effectively to address the needs of communities. The DDM provides a framework for collective action, and it is up to government departments and municipalities to seize the opportunity and work together towards a better future for Limpopians.
