The launch of the Second National Imbizo Focus Week will take place as follows:-
Date : Tuesday, 07 April 2015

The Imbizo Focus Week affords political principals an opportunity to articulate messages around the priorities of government as outlined in the State of the Nation Address and Cluster Media Briefings. The engagements unpack the annual programme of government as highlighted in the State of the Nation Address, which is within the context of the country’s National Development Plan.
