It is my profound honour to welcome you to this special occasion here at Mayibuye Primary School, a place that symbolizes the hopes and dreams of our future generations.
Today marks a momentous occasion as the Gauteng Provincial Legislature (GPL) and Public Protector South Africa (PPSA) come together to formalize our partnership through the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding.
This partnership signifies the strength and potential of collaboration between institutions that share a constitutional mandate to serve our communities with accountability, transparency, and integrity.
As the GPL, we remain steadfast in our commitment to overseeing provincial governance, promoting accountability, and ensuring that the voices of Gauteng’s residents are heard and respected.
The Public Protector’s office has long been a pillar of justice, advocating for fairness and addressing maladministration. By working together under the framework of this MoU, we are forging a path towards greater synergy, efficiency, and responsiveness.
This collaboration will enhance our ability to monitor and address issues that affect our communities while reducing duplication of efforts and ensuring optimal use of resources.
Mayibuye Primary School is a fitting venue for this historic event, reminding us of the vital role education and community engagement play in building a stronger, more equitable society. Our presence here reaffirms our commitment to grassroots development and outreach, more recently the work done by PPSA on the school.
Let this partnership be a beacon of hope and progress, ensuring that our shared mandate to uphold the Constitution and improve the lives of our people remains our guiding principle. Together, we can create a legacy of good governance that will benefit current and future generations.
Thank you for being part of this transformative journey. Together, let us make history.
