MEC NGONGO TO WELCOME THE GERMAN DELEGATION FROM THE STATE OF LOWER SAXONY 🗓

MEC Sibulele Ngongo welcomed the German delegation from the State of Lower Saxony, visiting the province for 4 days on 21 October 2024.

The purpose of the visit was to further strengthen the twinning agreement the Eastern Cape Government has with the State of Lower Saxony. The delegation visit is led by the Ministry of Interior and Sport.

The Eastern Cape Government and the Government of the German Federal State of Lower Saxony on 20 October 2015 signed a Joint Declaration of Intent in Bhisho to foster socio-economic development, foreign investment, and cooperation in areas of technology, sport, HIV/AIDS and tourism in their respective Provinces.

This partnership is largely focusing on the International Voluntary Service sports exchange programmes between the Landessportbund Niedersachsen, where teams, coaches and team officials exchange different techniques and opinions on how to improve competing with each other.
