Improving services Home Affairs Director-General Mkhuseli Apleni said the system also aims to improve professionalism within the department. “Corruption was rife and the identities of people were stolen and constantly under threat. “Our department was associated with long queues and endless hours spent waiting for services and this forced us to move with the times and fall in line with the tech savvy trends of the world. “The beauty of the system is that citizens who choose this facility do not have to queue in offices, meaning Home Affairs offices would then be freed up to attend speedily to other clients who can’t make use of the system,” said Apleni.

FREEFREE 2 May 2016 Edition 1 Vuk’uzenzele EDUCATION Technology improves teaching in Free State

Albert Pule

ver 70 schools in the Free State have replaced the old teaching method of using a chalkboard and textbooks Owith technology and other new forms of teaching. The Internet Broadcast Project is a partnership between the University of Free State and the provincial Department of Education that involves the university providing daily interactive curriculum-focused support across the province, even in most rural areas. This is done by broadcasting daily lessons that cover a curriculum of certain subjects at 71 centres. Teachers at the 71 schools connect to the Internet and a teacher from the university gives tutorials online to all the connected schools, focusing on a specific subject. The lessons are taught live from one of the university’s studios and are directed at both the training of teachers and teaching of learners. The lessons are in Economics, Geography, Physics, Mathematics and English. The partnership aims to achieve two main goals. The first is to bring equal, quality education through teachers who are experts in their field and will teach learners regardless of their socio-economic status or Learners at Tsoseletso Secondary School, Free State listen to English teacher Kamohelo Mongwenyane.

The list was released in 2014 by Higher Education and Training Minister, Blade Nzimande. The Deputy Minister handed over charts of the list of occupations to the school principals of the three schools. Learners were also informed about the National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS), which is aimed at assisting poor and academically deserving students to further their studies within the post-school sector.

The responsibility rests on all of us to make our local areas work. While we expect councillors, who choose to stand for public office, to do their work, we must also commit to keep our end of the bargain. We must be active participants in the meetings and deliberations of our councils; we must offer our views on projects and plans when we are invited to give public comment; we must make suggestions and share ideas that will move our communities forward, and we must, within reason, be fair and accommodating when there are difficulties. We must pay for services we receive; we must report vandals; we must treat our municipal services and infrastructure as if they are our own assets – because they are. This spirit of building a better South Africa must also be part of how we approach the elections themselves. We must give all contestants in the election a fair chance to present their case.

Did you know? Aquaculture offers real opportunities for SMMEs • Globally, aquaculture supplies almost 50 percent of the world’s fish. It is estimated that by 2030, the world will require an additional 50 tonnes of fish, which come mainly from aquaculture. • To date, 10 projects are underway in the Eastern Cape, Northern Cape, Western Cape and KwaZulu-Natal with funding secured from the newly established Aquacul- ture Development Enhancement Programme. • More than 500 jobs have been created and committed. • The sector has realised private sector investment of R338 million with government investment at R106 million. South African ports are being developed and refurbished to revitalise the ocean economy. The ocean economy will unlock many opportunities for the country.

Water storage facilities for KZN communities “This handover is not an isolated event. Over the past year, the KZN Cogta has bought more than 53 motorised water tankers for various districts, drilled more than 150 boreholes and refurbished 85 others back into operation. “Our interventions are changing people’s lives in real time. They are also building our resilience as a province in the face of future droughts which are fast becoming a fact of life as a result of climate change,” said MEC Dube-Ncube. The four converted water tankers are made of stainless steel and each have a capacity of 80 000 litres. Each will be able to supply water to 2 000 people per week. The four recipients of these facilities are Abaqulusi, Mthonjaneni, KwaDukuza and Maphumulo local municipalities. KwaDukuza Municipal Mayor Ricardo Mthembu said the water tanks would bring much-needed relief to the area. “This is really a long-term drought man- agement plan for us. Before we had mobile water tanks for easy transportation of water to needy communities, but the problem with those tanks is that there were small. The truck had to go to one community five or six times a day and by the time they were ready to move to another community, it would already be dark. The big tanks are going to help a lot and they are going to save time,” he said. One of the residents from KwaDukuza, Mzonjani Hlongwa, said the community was grateful for the water tanks. “Drought has caused so much devastation MEC Nomusa Dube-Ncube (centre) inspects some of the containers, alongside, from left: Abaqulusi Mayor Patience Khaba and among our community.

unicipalities across the country will benefit from a partnership between the South African Local MGovernment Association (SAL- GA) and The Sports Trust. The Sports Trust will identify the needs for sports facilities and will act as an imple- menting agent for all joint sports projects in municipalities to ensure the highest return on investment. SALGA represents local government and is mandated to transform local government to enable it to fulfil its developmental role. The Sports Trust has expertise in the field of sports and recreation and plays a role in the develop- ment of sport facilities and provision of related sporting equipment and kit.
