Easter is a time to bring families together, unwind from the heavy responsibilities of life and live a little. This year, the Gauteng Department of e-Government joined other departments to exhibit their services to the attendees of the Rand Easter Show in Johannesburg.
The Rand Show has been an important annual fixture in Johannesburg for 128 years, attracting thousands of visitors each year. The department used this platform to highlight some of its new priorities as stated by Premier Panyaza Lesufi, such as e-Policing.
E-Policing is the use of technology-driven solutions to fight crime. These e-policing solutions include the deployment of drones, high-caliber facial recognition cameras, vehicle, and weapon tracking, as well as an e-panic button.
The MEC  e-Government, Research and Development, Mr Mzi Khumalo, said it was important for them to take government services directly to the public so they can benefit from them. "Programmes such as e-Policing have been established for the safety and security of our citizens, therefore it is important for them to know how they work and how they can benefit from these initiatives," 
Amongst other services exhibited was the e-Waste Management program which aims to tackle the mounting electronic waste through the recycling of electronics, as well as Gauteng e-Services.
