Media Release: First Thursdays – bringing the Western Cape Government closer to you

Premier Alan Winde and the Western Cape Government (WCG) provincial Cabinet are taking the monthly First Thursday initiative back on the road. “We believe that when all of government works together, we can achieve so much more for our residents. Thank you to City of Cape Town Mayor Geordin Hill-Lewis and his Mayoral Committee (MAYCO) for joining us again,” said Premier Alan Winde.

On Thursday, 3 August 2023, Premier Winde and the “First Thursday” team will be in Kraaifontein where they will engage with residents.

“First Thursdays offer our residents another opportunity to personally raise issues with myself, our provincial ministers, and the City of Cape Town’s leadership” explained the Premier. He added, “We always look forward to interacting with community members. By taking our First Thursdays into communities we want residents to know and feel that the WCG is a responsive and accessible government that does not shy away from its commitment to serving our citizens. Through every interaction we get a deeper understanding of the challenges some of our residents face when we bring government closer to them.” The Premier urged the public to take advantage of First Thursday.

“Perhaps you have an idea on how to improve services or you have experienced issues on how to start a business. It is an opportunity for our budding entrepreneurs and residents to seek advice and to be heard. We will always try our best to see how we can help,” he concluded.
