During his Budget Speech in the Provincial Legislature on 21 May 2007, Premier Rasool said: "It is the intention of our government to start making an immediate and visible impact in each one of our 'Priority Areas' where poverty, unemployment, crime, drugs and gangs dominate. I have invited representatives from each of these areas to be in the gallery today so that they can hold us accountable for these undertakings."
In keeping with the promise made in his budget speech that government would return to the 'Priority Areas' within six months "to check whether these foundations have been laid, and to allow communities to hold us accountable", Premier Rasool will hold a press conference to report on the progress made since then. The Premier will also report on the current round of Izimbizo which are taking place from 7 to 14 November.
