Unveiling of the plaque

Residents of Perseverance will soon have a modern, well-equipped and spacious district administration office and community centre, a project which is costing the government R13 million.

The symbolic foundation stones to mark the beginning of construction were laid by President Wavel Ramkalawan, Minister for Local Government and Community Affairs Rose-Marie Hoareau, and National Assembly member for Perseverance Desheila Bastienne, during a ceremony at the project site yesterday afternoon.

They also unveiled the plaque for the facility.

President Ramkalawan noted that construction of the long-awaited facility would have started earlier, but with financial constraints, the government had to prioritise other projects considered to be more important.

“Our administration is one that continuously takes into account the concerns of all communities. When we have the funds, we will do what needs to be done,” he said.

The President also called on the 6000 residents of the district to come together to work for the betterment of the community.
