Evaton Renewal Project

[edit]

The Evaton Renewal Project is a project of government aimed at “renewing” or regenerating Evaton, to improve the quality of life of the Evaton community. The priority areas of this project include: the development of infrastructure, such as the resurfacing of roads and building of pavements; the development of the local economy through job creation and Small, Micro and Medium Enterprise (SMME) projects, like grass-cutting and the setting up of vegetable gardens andsmall-scale agriculture.[2][3][4] The project has since proven to be a complete disaster/failure. The leadership in this region of the country is self-serving.
