# The City of Tshwane council chair of chairs, Oupa Matshiane, is encouraging community members and stakeholders to participate in the Public Participation and Civic Awareness processes. He says public participation benefits community members by giving them a voice in decisions that affect their lives, which leads to better services, improved trust in leadership, and stronger communities. Matshiane says that when local governments engage with communities, they can better understand specific needs and tailor public services to improve the quality of life for residents.
