Direko: Launch of Women's Month in the Free State

As we engage in activities to celebrate Women's Month, let us be cognisant of the plight of women across Africa, especially in war torn countries like the DRC, Liberia, Sudan and others.

Direko: Grain SA awards ceremony
Any discussion around land in this country cannot overlook the history of land reform, which starts, with the first wars of resistance against colonial conquest. Therefore given the history of wars of dispossession and expropriation of the land by 'treaty' and by 'statute', the question of land and land reform in South Africa is not merely an exercise in designing appropriate rural development strategy and policies for post apartheid South Africa but a matter of survival. To increase the ... [highlighted result]

Direko: Opening of Provincial Skills Conference
This Provincial Skills Development Conference brings special warmth in my heart because this demonstrates the benefits of the Reconstruction and Development Programme. The shortage of skills in our labour market undermines our efforts towards attainment of socio-economic development. This month alone, 218 public servants have been trained in these disciplines - we are certain that we will make good inroads in skills development in the Free State. [highlighted result]

Moroka High School has a very rich and dynamic historical background, from being a missionary and teacher training institution in the 1930s to its current status as a high school. During the apartheid era our education system was characterised by disparities and deficiencies brought about by the Bantu Education Act. The right to education is deeply entrenched in our Constitution; the South African Schools Act also asserts that all children have a right to access basic and quality education, ...

Furthermore, the introduction, in 1967, of the Education Policy Act promoted a racially and culturally segregated and differentiated education system. The South African Schools Act, which replaced the apartheid education laws, asserts that all children have a right to access basic and quality education, without any form of discrimination. The Free State Development Plan (FSDP) adopted by my Executive Council identified PEOPLE DEVELOPMENT as one of its key objectives. [highlighted result]
