24 August 2021

The Deputy Minister of Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment Ms Makhotso Sotyu, accompanied by  Executive Mayor of Sekhukhune District, Cllr Keamotseng Ramaila and the Mayor of Fetakgomo Tubatse Local Municipality, Cllr Ralepane Mamekoa will embark on a Good Green Deeds campaign in Mohlaletse village on Thursday, 26 August 2021.

Good Green Deeds is a national campaign launched by President Cyril Ramaphosa with an objective of encouraging responsible environmental practice within and across all sectors and levels of society. The campaign strives to change the individuals’ behaviour towards littering, illegal dumping and waste in general.

The Deputy Minister’s visit emanates from an invitation she received from Thakadu Tša Naga Farmers Association to support them with the establishment of inland fish farming (aquaculture). As part of her visit to Sekhukhune District, Deputy Minister Sotyu will engage with the communities and traditional leadership on several developmental issues including environmental educational programme. She will also donate garden tools, bins and participate in tree planting activities.

The campaign activities will be conducted with a strict observance of Covid-19 Adjusted Level 3 Regulations.
