MEC SELLO LEHARI TAKES VOOMA VACCINATION CAMPAIGN TO MORETELE The fight against COVID-19 continues, with the VOOMA VACCINATION CAMPAIGN being rolled out this weekend. The programme is led by various MEC’s in the province, in partnership with stakeholders. Sello Lehari, the MEC for the department of Community Safety and Transport Management took to Mmotla Kgalola village in Moretele Local Municipality. MEC Lehari used this opportunity to drive positive messages about the vaccine and to dispel myths as well as to alleviate fears amongst the community. “Following revelations of the slow turnout of people that have vaccinated so far, government has taken a decision to engage with communities in order to encourage vaccination against COVID- 19. We do this because the lives of people are important. In the province we want to achieve at least 75% of our population vaccinated. This disease has stolen one too many. It has robbed us of heroes in our communities, future leaders and therefore we had to take a stand.” “So I would like to encourage you to take the jab as we fight for safer and healthier communities,” said MEC Lehari who was also accompanied by senior officials in the department, and the Chairperson of the North West Public Transport Intervention Team, Frans Vilakazi. The vaccination site coordinated by the department of Health as well as the Moretele Local Municipality, saw hundreds of people, young and old take the vaccine. John Mohomana, Ward 9 Cllr was satisfied with the turnout of people at the site. “We are happy to see the number of people who made time to come here today and to hear for themselves the message that the MEC has shared with us and of course, to get vaccinated. We currently have two sites, the Department of Health has also setup at a local church. In that way, we are able to reach as many people as possible,” he said. END Next Articles+
