Reconciliation and community integration dialogue planned for protest-weary Kopela

The North West Provincial Government will this week convene a reconciliation and community integration dialogue in Kopela village near Mahikeng in the North West, following violent protests in the area last year.

Public properties were destroyed during service delivery protests late last year when residents in the area burnt down three schools and a clinic.

Now, the provincial government, through its Reconciliation, Healing and Renewal unit, will bring members of the community together to talk about the issue and reconcile in line with the province’s Reconciliation, Healing and Renewal initiative which was launched in Marikana in 2014.
