Premier Noxolo Kiviet says the names of people to serve on the provincial planning commission of the Eastern Cape will be announced next week.

Speaking during a Human Rights Day address in Port Alfred, Kiviet said the commissioners would come from a variety of fields with vast knowledge and experiences.

She said the planning commission would not just be a government framework, but a societal development path which she hoped everyone would commit to.

Kiviet said government had started investments to improve the socio-economic conditions of the people of the Eastern Cape with over R125b committed to build ports, railways, roads, agriculture and energy infrastructure.
