This past Monday, Sileku, the Western Cape MEC of Mobility, paid a visit to the Karoo town.
The scheduled visit fell within the ambit of the Provincial Sustainable Transport Programme (PSTP) and Sileku donated bicycles to learners at Beaufort-West Primary School and John D. Crawford Primary School Cape {town} Etc reports.
The scope of the programme included liaising with the principal and staff at both primary schools, a hand over ceremony, bicycle safety training for the students and Silekus testimony to the project and its importance.
According to the Western Cape Mobility Department , the donation marks a milestone for the programme, which has been implemented to improve mobility and enhance access to transport in marginalised and lower-income communities.
The PSTP programme further focuses on rural areas across the Western Cape and in addition to facilitating access to transport, it incorporates elements of economic and entrepreneurial development and growth, community safety and social enhancement.
