Premier gives new MEC two weeks to open the Mpumalanga Fresh Produce Market
The Premier announced 3 new MEC’s on Tuesday, one of which is the new MEC for Agriculture, Rural Development and Environment, Ms Khethiwe Moeketsi, with the marching orders to ensure a successful operation of the Mpumalanga Fresh Product Market…in two weeks. He said the tasks       communicated to Moeketsi and the entire public are to ensure transparency and reshape Mpumalanga as a province that can produce food. The Fresh Produce Market was finally handed over to the provincial government in   September last year after 10 years and over R2 billion spent. The farmers were excited that the market would soon be operating, but after another 10 months, nothing has happened. Is this a realistic expected outcome?
