CHANGING LIVES THROUGH COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT

Community development means providing facilities and infrastructure which ultimately serve to pull together the various threads that define and support a community. The role of community development is to support people and community groups to identify and articulate their needs, and to take practical, collective action to address them.

SPORT FIELDS

We consider sporting facilities to be an important contribution to the well-being of residents. As local government, we believe we are the closest to the people, and prioritising the well-being of our residents is of outmost importance. The National Development Plan emphases the role of local government in building social cohesion by providing green spaces and community sport and recreation facilities which enable communities to interact at a local level. uMlalazi Municipality responds by encouraging a healthy sporting culture through our rural sport development programme which focuses on unearthing local talent. His Worship the Mayor of uMlalazi Local Municipality, Cllr Thelumoya Zulu, believes that these platforms will make an impactful contribution to national sport and economic development.
