The Thusong Service Centre (formerly known as Multi-Purpose Community Centres — MPCCs) programme of government was initiated in 1999 as one of the primary vehicles for the implementation of development communication and information and to integrate government services into primarily rural communities. This was done to address historical, social and economic factors, which limited access to information, services and participation by citizens, as they had to travel long distances to access these services. The Oudtshoorn Thusong Service Centre offers services rendered by National and Provincial government departments on monthly bases, in some instances bi-weekly. Most Government Departments are located within the proximity of the local Oudtshoorn Thusong Service Centre. The Thusong Service Centre in partnership with the Department of Local Government holds annually a Thusong Mobile where government services and information is taken to the people of rural communities, e.g. Dysselsdorp, De Rust and surrounding areas.
