Quotes My Constituency Offices have had to adapt to the challenges that come with Covid-19. Our services are now run virtually, and we have made sure that the office assistants at each Constituency office remain employed to assist constituents. Our office assistants work from home in Tshwane , Mpame Village, Port Elizabeth and Athlone. We restrict visits to our physical offices and have opted to offer telephonic services and projects to reach out to constituents. We are increasing our footprint with an online / virtual radio station to reach out to all provinces as a way to take Parliament to the people.On our virtual radio stations, live listeners phone in to raise their issues and these are addressed through written questions to Ministers, and by engaging secretaries of portfolio committees to fast track responses of officials in different government departments. The challenge however, is to market the radio service so that more people know about the platform, and use it to raise matters to Parliament. To keep my constituents abreast of business funding opportunities, I invited the Deputy Minister - Nokuzola Capa from the Department of Small Business Development to speak to my constituents in Mitchell’s Plain. The department spent an entire day with my constituents, discussing available training and funding opportunities for small businesses.
