NCOP KwaZulu-Natal’s (KZN) Delegation Targets Stalled Infrastructure Projects in KZN

A delegation of the KwaZulu-Natal’s (KZN) permanent delegates to the NCOP has launched a firm accountability drive aimed at unblocking delayed and incomplete infrastructure projects across the province. The delegation is in the province as part of the NCOP’s annual flagship NCOP’s Provincial Week programme. As part of the programme, the delegation will summon provincial departments, municipalities and implementing agencies to account for undertakings made during the 2024 and 2025 oversight programmes.
