A provincial activation on Thursday, 16 July 2015 where the North West provincial government through the Office of the Premier would rope in key government departments (Home Affairs, SASSA, Health etc.) to deliver basic services to community members on the day. The 16th was deliberately selected to accommodate stakeholders we wish to bring on board as we are mindful of their own Mandela Day plans which they already have for the 17th and 18th.
