There are still mud schools, schools without basic Water and sanitation, schools without toilets and schools with pit toilets. We still have children getting their education under trees. The school curriculum does not respond to the job market.
In most rural areas under traditional authorities there are no clinics, no mobile clinics and no hospitals and in some instances where there are c1inics, there is a shortage of staff, nurses and shortage of medicine.
We need SAPS centres in rural areas that must be well resourced. We truly welcome the incubation of SMME's and budding entrepreneurs but in rural areas in particular we don't have entrepreneurially and technologically based and effective TveT colleges. Our people are not sponges as Paulo Ferreira said. We must work with them and ensure that they get the best. They are active and not passive. Thank you.
