In the medium to long term, research output from the university stands to benefit not only the province but the country at large. We are therefore pleased to announce that classes at the new Sol Plaatje University began on Monday this week.
Actions and Detail Panel
The University opened its doors to the first students who have enrolled for academic programmes in Education, Retail Management and Information Technology. Honourable Speaker, as we all are aware, we are currently facing a tremendous challenge in attracting technical experts such as engineers, architects, quantity surveyors and town planners to our province. The primary objective of the Trust is to make higher education opportunities available on a full time basis to young men and women of the Northern Cape who are academically deserving students but who do not have the financial means.
It is hoped that when students ultimately graduate, they will break the cycle of poverty in their families and change lives for all those around them for the better. We have recently received, with gratitude, sponsorship of R from the Mine Managers Association which helped almost 30 students with funding for their academic year.
From to seven hundred and sixty one young men and women, from all five 5 regions and coming from all race groups were given opportunities to pursue their academic dreams in various institutions of higher learning in South-Africa. As at the end of , two hundred and twenty four students had graduated and completed their higher learning qualifications. All the hard work of government will be in vain unless the provision of education remains a partnership between government and the people of the province. In this regard, we wish to appeal to all parents and communities to take an active interest in the education of their children.

We also encourage big and small business to get involved in the provision of bursaries for our children. This is certainly a milestone development that will bolster the scarce skills for these new industries. All of them met the minimum entry requirements set by the university. This is a brand new programme and constitutes fifty percent of the first intake. I wish to take this opportunity once again to thank the EWSETA for their unmatched investment in the future of the youth of this province. Their commitment will position our youth to exploit the opportunities in their own towns and villages.
Mr Speaker, our program to ensure we develop our road network to improve road safety and provide more access on a province-wide basis has gained momentum. We have made significant strides in addressing the daunting challenges presented by inadequate and poor roads, as well as the lack of maintenance of infrastructure and public facilities.
We have astutely allocated our resources, both financial and human, to maximise our efforts at addressing these challenges. With the effective resealing program that we have implemented, we can say for the first time since the inception of democracy that the overall condition of our paved roads has improved. Through the massive Expanded Public Works programme EPWP , the government has created many job opportunities for our people as well the transfer of valuable skills to ordinary citizens, the majority of whom were previously unemployed.
In contrast, Municipalities in the Northern Cape have collectively improved in their performance. They have managed to reach and exceed their targets in the past two financial years, thereby exceeding their 4 year target by creating 21 work opportunities against a 4 year target of 20, work opportunities. This can be attributed to improved relations and cooperation from municipalities as well as the provision of technical support teams by the Department of Roads and Public Works as the EPWP coordinating Department in the Province.
Mr Speaker, More than half of all South Africans are under the age of 35, and young people comprise a disproportionate amount of the unemployed. This program seeks to address the ever diminishing number of artisan skills in our Province. This 24 month intense Program was initiated in as a means of closing the skills gap of unemployed youth in the Province. Instead of the traditional built environment skills, the program targeted the most sought after skills which the previously disadvantaged were not exposed to due to the high training costs.
These skills included:. The 1st phase of the program was successfully completed in October and saw the Province partnering with various stakeholders, even across Provincial borders, in order to secure the best learning opportunities in the fields I just outlined. We have also secured on the job-training opportunities with the following Northern Cape based companies:. We continue to pay attention to developing our youth. The most critical aspect of our work with young people is to empower them and instil in them the spirit of patriotism and active citizenry. The province has also launched the Youth Build project, a youth programme to equip young people with technical skills to participate in the housing delivery programme and make a difference in their communities.
Further assistance is provided in the form of mentoring and equipping participants with the skills and resources to become entrepreneurs. The Youth Build project is intended to harmonize academic achievement, work experience, social action, leadership development and personal transformation of youth that are between the ages of 14 — 35 years and who are out of school.
The youth have received training as part of the YouthBuild programme and the implementation of this project in the Northern Cape gives them an opportunity to put their acquired skills into practice.
Premier Sylvia Lucas: Northern Cape State of the Province Address
Ladies and Gentlemen, through the empowering of our youth we can surely break the cycle of intergenerational poverty. We will also continue to provide much needed portable skills to our young people to ensure that we put them on a path of self-sustainability. R 4 million has been set aside to ensure we achieve this milestone.
To this end, young people will benefit from the skills development programmes, ranging from learners and drivers licences to accredited technical skills. A further 50 young people will benefit from our Youth Service Centres receiving a monthly stipend that will enable them to assist their families in ensuring that they do not go to bed on a hungry stomach.

The Northern Cape is indeed a better place to live in. The trust was formed to assist previously disadvantaged women on economic empowerment initiatives throughout all five 5 Districts of the Province. There were, however governance challenges in the trust for a few years thereby precluding the trust in terms of fully executing its noble mandate. Now, the new board is fully operational with support staff in place to implement the strategy of the trust.
During , under the auspices of the Trust, the Premier presided over five awareness summits in all five regions of the Province reaching out to 4 women. After the awareness programs, thirty two 32 interest free loans had been granted to qualifying women and 35 women are being given business training which will culminate into grants for their business initiatives.
With the trust now fully operational, many more women will receive either grants or loans as R To date, the fund has received more than 50 grant applications. China Square, an informal settlement in Galeshewe was identified for the construction of 52 houses to commemorate and honour the women that marched to the Union Building 52 years ago.
The houses were constructed by 22 women contractors. In , 15 women contractors were involved in the construction of houses in the Lerato Park Integrated Project in Kimberley. The Women in Transport Awards recognizes the outstanding achievements of women in all modes of transport in our Province.
Mr Speaker, the fight against crime and corruption remains one of the top priorities of the Provincial Government.
Crime and corruption dominates our media on a daily basis. We read about the horrific attacks on our women, children and elderly and we also need to deal with the bitter experiences of our friends, relatives and colleagues in relation to crime. The main focus in the province is therefore on contact crimes and crimes against women and children. The response from government to address this violence against women and children includes a more effective criminal justice system, stricter law enforcement, re-integration programmes, and public education and awareness campaigns.
The strategy aims to ensure that all people in the Province are and feel safe and focuses on an integrated approach towards the prevention of crime at a local level. Local Government, therefore, has a key role to play in mobilising all stakeholders, to establish integrated community safety networks and to lead the development of community safety plans in response to local crime trends and community safety challenges.
The facilitation and promotion of community safety through the establishment and maintenance of functional community safety structures are key to the approach of Government in ensuring a safe and secure Northern Cape Province. Honourable Members, Environment and Nature Conservation is responsible for ensuring that we care for our environment and preserve our rich natural resources for future generations.
Environment and nature conservation continues to provide us with yet another avenue to confront the challenges of unemployment, poverty and inequality.
