As local municipalities compete for investment it would be tempting to keep the skills and experience gained from 13 consecutive clean audits to oneself, partly because of capacity. But this is not the way of Weskus Distrik which counts ‘inclusiveness’ as a core brand value.
“Our track record is inspiring, and we are proud of what has been achieved. But we remain grounded by the fact that a clean audit is simply the outcome of doing our jobs accurately and consistently, always with an eye on service delivery. In an environment where solid governance is rare, we will always reach out to municipalities which share our values and the hope for a better future for all.
Regarding strengthening the hands of our ‘competitors’, there are more than enough investors in the world seeking viable opportunities and besides, each region holds different attractions for investors. Solid governance impacts directly on service delivery, and as more communities experience positive experiences, the more a sense of hope grows throughout our country. When we get this right, more investment will flow”.
Will the spirit of helping others constrain Weskus Distrik’s capacity?
“Extra effort is required but the growth and development of our team over the years ensures continuity. Having succession plans in place not only promotes sustainable performance but encourages key officials to leave their desks and make a difference.”
As Boffie once commented:
“Now is not the time to sleep”.
