you can give the children and youth all the education that is there to give but it wont change anything due to the fact that the are no JOBS on the market..Providing jobs is the first step in fighting poverty..

Our ongoing battle to have full control over our service delivery is illustrated today by the high number of riots and protests which are rife in public domain orchestrated by Comrades who think it is acceptable to loot Government coffers because our public turned blind eye whereas the riots suggest that the public is actually watching in total despair and impatience thereby forming a ticking bomb which will fatally explode against the ANC to the opposite any available opposition party which would be lucky by the time of explosion of an already ticking bomb!
If please the honorable Comrade Premier can extent the same good commitment to the core service delivery mandates in his province. It is very dangerous for the ANC to deliver the services ''six days'' before the election day, people will no longer be fooled by that shallow folklore strategy!

Well done Ace, thi is the way to go. if there's one thing i need to applaud the ANC for since coming into power, is the number of young black South Africans they have managed to put to school in the midst of their corruption!

Now just make sure the money doesn't disappear like happened with the last batch who found themselves left high and dry in Cuba without funds.

Study medicine in Cuba??????? I remember a time, not too long ago, when doctors who qualified right here in SA, were ranked amongst the best educated doctors in the world. What happened?

@Tsafendason - and what about the quality of that education ? We are now one of the worst in the world, including Africa, which we used to lead, when it comes to the quality of our matric, abilty of our learners to write, do maths, etc. A matriculant who passes with a 35 % in SA is not employable.

Oldlady. It is said that medical facilities and training in Cuba are excellent. Of the top worldwide. I have no problem with this, just as I had no problem with the deployment of Cuban doctors in our state hospitals - although language was an issue and interpreters were frequently required. At one stage our institutions were flooded with students from Europe, as tuition costs here were much lower. I think that has ended. The other issue to consider is that vast numbers of students qualify here and head overseas immediately to the lands of milk and honey. So the gap needs to be filled.

RobinH, I would have had the same ????? if I read America. I hear you, but if so many of our qualified medical students head overseas, the same question remains.....what happened? Why don't they stay here?

There is contractition in SA. Whereas the SA education systems is in shambles and no one is willing and eager to sort it out, learners are being shipped to other countries to study? What's the sustainability of this strategy? #SHOCKED AND SICKENED#

This is the way now the anc is paying back cuba for the support they gave anc during apartheid and on the border where their asses got kicked. The sad part about this is as oldlady says, SA used to have the top ranking institutes which resulted in the top ranked doctors in the world.
