Restoring dignity through work opportunities

The Community Work Programme (CWP) is a community driven government programme based in the Department of Cooperative Governance (DCoG).

It is an element of Public Employment Programmes (PEPs) designed to address the triple challenges of poverty, unemployment and inequality.

The business community has welcomed the newly launched InvestSA One Stop Shop initiative.

Derrick Huang, managing director of international company Beyond Your Dreams (BYD) South Africa, says the concept of the one stop shop will make their lives as investors a lot easier.

This Chinese firm is primarily an IT and renewable energy company. It is listed on the Hong Kong and New York stock exchanges and has over 200 000 employees internationally.

Advances in pharmacology mean that there are new drugs available for the treatment of Tuberculosis (TB) and drug-resistant, multi-drug-resistant and extensively drug-resistant TB. South Africa is the world’s biggest user of a new drug called Bedaquiline.

Every year, Freedom Month and Freedom Day on 27 April move millions of South Africans to reflect on the day our nation ended the struggle against apartheid by defeating that system at the ballot box.

Since 1994, new generations of voters have come to appreciate the importance and power of the day 23 years ago when the nation achieved political freedom and set the country on the road towards the constitutional democracy we enjoy today.

To help cut red tape and make it easier to launch a business in South Africa a one-stop-shop concept is being rolled out.

The Ravele Community Property Association in Levubu, Limpopo, received 16 macadamia, avocado, banana, sweet potato and litchi farms worth R42 million from government in 2005.

An agency called South African Farm Managers (SAFM) managed the farm. The agency’s role is to teach communities to use restituted land successfully.

In 2007, Danie Basson was appointed as Chief Production Officer of SAFM.

Bethuel says the CPA and SAFM did not see eye to eye on a number of things pertaining to the running of the farm.

Profit from the sale of the Ravele Community Property Association’s (CPA) produce is shared among the beneficiaries. The CPA has also established a bursary fund that sponsors 40 students at different universities across the country.
