INLEIDING: Die werkloosheid in Suid-Afrika is omvangryk en die behoefte bestaan dat die probleem op alle vlakke aangespreek behoort te word. Baie jongmense is onsuksesvol in hulle soeke na werk en wend hulle dan tot kriminele aktiwiteite om te oorleef. Daar bestaan noue verband tussen misdaad en werkloosheid en dit wek kommer. Oortredings begaan deur die jeugdige oortreder wissel van diefstal, roof en moord. Die toename in kriminele aktiwiteite deur die jeugdige word waargeneem. Misdaad het met 27% tussen die jare 1987 en 1992 toegeneem. Hiermee saam het geweld ook met 19% gestyg. (Glanz, 1993). Die Departement van Statistiek bereken egter dat 95398 jeugdiges tussen die ouderdom van sewe en twintig jaar gedurende 1 Julie 1990 en 30 Junie 1991 by kriminele aktiwiteite betrokke was. Dit wil dus voorkom of 120 - 150 jeugidges vir elke 1000 by sulke aktiwiteite betrokke is. Daar moet egter in gedagte gehou word dat nie alle oortredings aangemeld word en oortreders vervolg en gevonnis word nie. Dit wil dus voorkom of die statistiek beskikbaar slegs die punt van die ysberg reflekteer. 2. DOELSTELLING EN DOELWITTE: Die doel van hierdie studie was om ondersoek in te stel na die behoeftes van die werklose jeugdige aan die Wes-Rand, met die doel om sekere aanbevelings te maak om die werkloosheid-misdaad sirkel te verbreek. 3. DOELWITTE VIR DIE STUDIE: Die volgende doelwitte is gestel om bogenoemde doelstellings te bereik: a. Bepaal van behoeftes van die werklose jeugdige in die volgende gemeenskappe: Mohlakeng Kagiso, en Bekkersdal Identifisering van bestaande programme om die werklose jeugdige behulpsaam te wees. Identifisering van leemtes in die diensleweringsproses aan die werklose jeugdige, asook die maak van sekere aanbevelings. 4. NAVORSINGSMETODOLOGIE: 'n Volledige literatuurstudie is gedoen ten opsigte van die onderwerp. Die doel was ook om deur middel van 'n vraelys die behoeftes van die werklose jeugdige in die gegewe gemeenskappe te identifiseer. Organisasies wat betrokke is by programme, is geidentifiseer en daar is deur middel van 'n semi- gestruktureerde onderhoudskedule die nodige data ingesamel. (iv ) Die data is daarna geanaliseer en al drie die doelwitte is bereik. Daar is gebruik gemaak van kwalitatiewe navorsing asook paar kwantitatiewe data analiseringstegnieke vir hierdie studie. NAVORSINGSRESULTATE EN BEVINDINGE: Die meeste van die jeug wat betrek was by die studie, was kinders van enkelouers, of buite-egtelike kinders, of kinders wat deur hulle ouers verlaat of verwaarloos was. Werkloosheid was in die meeste gevalle 'n kenmerk wat by die gesin teenwoordig was waaruit die jeugdige gekom het. Die jeug het hulle skoolopvoeding gestaak as gevolg van finansiele redes. Dit het gebeur voordat hulle die nodige kennis en lewensvaardighede bemeester het. Hulle was dan ook onsuksesvol in hulle soeke na werk en het dan betrokke geraak by kriminele aktiwiteite. Die organisasies wat programme aanbied het sekere vereistes gestel waaraan die meeste jeugdiges nie kon voldoen nie. Die organisasies is buite die gemeenskappe gelee en die meeste jeugdiges was onbewus van hulle bestaan. Dit is ook kommerwekkend om to weet dat daar slegs twee organisasies bestaan, in hierdie omgewing, wat die probleem kan aanspreek. AANBEVELINGS: Dit word aanbeveel dat die maatskaplike werk diensorganisasies, bestaande fondse wat geallokeer is, met groter vrug aanwend. Die aanleer van lewensvaardighede moet deel wees van die program. Die programme moet inkomste kan genereer asook die skep van meer werksgeleenthede. (v) Die maatskaplike werker moet as deel van 'n multidissiplinere span, asook die jeugdige en ouer, self- bestuurprogramme ontwikkel en implementeer. 7. SAMEVATTING: Dit is dus waargeneem, vanuit die studie, dat die jeugdige oortreder 'n produk is van vroed skoolverlating en armoede. Indien die probleem nie aangespreek en moontlike oplossings verkry word nie, sal daar 'n toename wees in jeugdige misdadigers. Die maatskaplike werk beroep sal aktief betrokke moet raak in die aanspreek van die probleem. CONTENTS CHAPTER 1 1 1.

THE GENERAL ORIENTATION 1.1 Introduction: In South Africa there are no jobs for a very wide range of people. The precise figure of unemployment is not available. Some academics, however, have estimated the total number of African unemployment at more than three million people. This number is increasing all the time. An Inkatha Institute, which has been collecting violence related information in the townships for the past few years, describe the typical South African youth situation as follows: "This could be a young man in his mid or late teens who leaves school (often prematurely) only to find his vision of adulthood completely locked.

STRATEGIC OVERVIEW OF INFRASTRUCTURE PROGRAMME Strategic Overview There has been a shift in focus from the provision of housing to the establishment of sustainable human settlements due to the fact that previous policies to address housing did not adequately address the housing needs within the context of the brooder socio-economic needs of communities. In an effort to address this inconsistency gap, Cabinet approved the Comprehensive Plan for the Development of Human Settlements in 2004 which provides the framework to address housing needs within the context of broader socio-economic needs resulting in sustainable human settlements. The Comprehensive Plan is supplemented by the following business plans, which in turn informs the department’s infrastructure programme: • Stimulating the Residential Property Market; • Spatial Restructuring and Sustainable Human Settlements; • Social (Medium-Density) Housing Programme; • Informal Settlement Upgrading Programme; • Institutional Reform and Capacity Building; • Housing Subsidy Funding System Reforms; and • Housing and Job Creation. The following functional areas have been identified as the basis for the roll out of the infrastructure programme: • Service Delivery and Development Targets – the department will accelerate its current programmes of Mixed Housing Developments, Eradication of Informal Settlements, Alternative Tenure, Rural Housing, Urban Renewal Programme and the 20 Prioritised Township Programme to address historical backlogs in basic services, housing and infrastructure. • Capacity Building and Hands on Support – the department will strengthen its support to municipalities to ensure that the municipal capacity to deliver basic service is achieved and service delivery is realised.
