This in our view is a magnitude success from a community-led organization and has magnificently met local and national government halfway.
However, our community-led organization feels left out and is receiving little attention from the state and its institutions established by the Act of Parliament.
Lastly, the organization is seeking assistance of any kind to help bring basic services to the township established at Portion 19 of Farm 37, irrespective of the status quo in which the organization found itself.
Support the next phase
Help us bring basic services — roads, electricity, water, and sanitation — to the township at Portion 19.
