MEC Lusithi makes a clarion call to social partners, private sector and government departments to take the sanitary dignity campaign, championed by the department, to even greater heights in an effort to restore dignity and provide girls with uninterrupted education.
MEC Lusithi reiterates the Social Development approach, that is not of welfare and handouts but about a decisive impact of a social change designed to promote the well-being of the population as a whole in conjunction with a dynamic process of economic development.
A stakeholder engagement session, lead by MEC Siphokazi Lusithi and Head of Department Ntombi Baart is underway in East London. This to give the social cluster & community building stakeholders a space to engage on the methods to turn around the lives of the poor and vulnerable.
