Tlokweng council unveils growth plans

Against this backdrop, Tlokweng District Council (TDC) says it has moved a step ahead, having already mapped out key strategies aimed at improving its financial position and accelerating local development. Speaking at the start of the year, TDC chairperson, Ontiretse Bogatsu, said the council has prioritised partnerships with the private sector as a central pillar of its recovery and growth agenda. According to Bogatsu, the partnerships will focus on the development of open spaces within the district, which she described as an untapped resource with significant revenue potential.

Currently, TDC is grappling with a financial deficit stemming from historical debts, a challenge compounded by its recent transition into a fully-fledged district council. However, Bogatsu expressed confidence that the new strategies, once implemented, would help turn the situation around.
