 
MEDIA ALERT
KZN DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORT ANNUAL SUMMITKwaZulu-Natal MEC for Transport, Mr S'bu Ndebele will host a pre-summit media briefing on Tuesday, 20 May 2003 commencing at 10h00 at the Pavillion Site (in the VIP marquee), Corner of Old Fort Road & Marine Parade, Durban. Our mandate, as government, is to deliver a better life for all, but particularly for those so unjustly disadvantaged during apartheid. The cornerstone of any democracy and just society is a well informed public. It is this basic philosophy that has underpinned the Department's commitment to strengthening civil society in KwaZulu-Natal through the formation and training of fora and councils, such as our Rural Road Transport Forums, Community Road Safety Councils, Taxi Associations, Vukuzakhe Associations and many more. Our annual summits provide an opportunity to keep the public properly informed about new developments in the KwaZulu-Natal Department of Transport and on how we have allocated our budgets. These summits also provide us with an opportunity to acknowledge the outstanding contributions that many of these civil society structures have made towards creating a better life for all in their communities and constituencies by awarding prizes to these stakeholders in various categories. The KwaZulu-Natal Department of Transport has always committed itself to a communication strategy that ensures that all the public are well informed of what services and supports that they can expect from us. The fact that this is our eighth annual summit confirms this commitment. Access to knowledge and, through knowledge, the sharing of power must be easily available and affordable to all. All media are invited to attend. Please note picture opportunities. In order to facilitate logistical arrangements, all media are please requested to confirm attendance by no later than 16h00 on Monday, 19th May 2003.
