Tshediso Matona | National Planning Commission  Tshediso Matona  Planning department does not seem to have teeth, Makhosi Khosa says Public service and administration portfolio committee chairperson Makhosi Khoza had some tough words for the department and its acting director general‚ Tshediso Matona. "There’s something that is frightening, actually. In terms of the NDP‚ by 2030 we should have created 11-million jobs" Khoza said. "There’s not a single mention of the biggest disruptor in this document, and that is the digital revolution that is before us. It’s disrupting everything." Khoza added: "And what bothers me is that this is the department that is supposed to be at the centre that is supposed to be leading the implementation of the NDP. We are seven years down the line. Where are we? We are still talking about planning‚ good Lord, but 2030 is in 12 years’ time from now." She said the presentation and some of its omissions did not make sense. ...

Housing - Calling entrepreneurs Housing - Calling entrepreneurs What if we told you the solution to the 25% national unemployment statistic (36% youth unemployment) and the million-plus housing backlog was already in our back yard? And what if we told you jobless, unskilled South Africans could become entrepreneurs in the house building sector and be able to build homes in their communities at a fraction of the cost and in less than a week? What would you say if we told you there is a company that is not only prepared to certify you, but to empower you too and give you a market, technology and the opportunity to grow personally and professionally?  Affordable Housing - Calling Entrepreneurs “I cast a house in a mould, not a brick in a mould,” he says on the phone from his Port Elizabeth-based office. “I can plan where the windows will be, the trusses and the cast eliminates trades that come with brick construction.” The Moladi construction system is as much about filling the basic n...

Unemployment rate rises to 26,4%, Cameron Dugmore What are you doing to stem this?  Cameron Dugmore  Cameron Dugmore what are you at the National Development Plan doing to implement plans to stem the rise in unemployment? The NDP is supposed to implement actions to curb this sad state of affairs, but you seem to do nothing other than criticize the opposition party. This job has got nothing to do with politics it has to do with the people of South Africa. This you seem to have forgotten. Why have you not responded to numerous request to meet and discuss a tool that can be implemented to kick-start the job creation drive? You set a very bad example for the youth and unemployed in South Africa What a shame to Nelson Mandela who fought for freedom for all in South Africa, even the freedom of poverty.

Youth employment and skills development program Youth employment and skills development program - South Africa Matric results are not a reliable barometer of education quality  We propose a solution by combining three “problem areas” and transforming them into “opportunity”. The three key issues that we face in Africa are that of poverty, unemployment and the huge backlog of affordable homes. Currently there are 800,000 graduates that are unemployed in South Africa.  This means that our universities are producing a significant amount of unwanted skills for the needs of industry and our country. This prompts the questions: - Does our higher education system produce unemployable graduates? Does our schooling system create unemployed youth after grade 12? Should we relook at the antiquated 1900 English curriculum applied in schools today? Are what is taught relevant to what is needed? Should we not cater for children who are not mathematical or scientifically inclined? Should w...

Economic development. Can politicians create jobs? Youth unemployment a global issue - A threat or an opportunity? Does our schooling system create unemployed youth after grade 12? Should we relook at the antiquated 1900 English curriculum? Should we not cater for children who are not mathematical or scientifically inclined? Should we not teach basic skills such as food production and artisans to build homes. Did Maslow not state "basic fundamental needs - FOOD and SHELTER? JOBS are created producing these vital commodities   Decent quality housing is one of the key factors in the fight against poverty and social exclusion. It is not just about putting a roof over someone’s head. Academic research proves that access to a clean and stable home implicates an improvement in security, health and education. Moladi, a South African based company established in 1986, makes housing accessible to low-income people through innovative and eco-friendly technology. Moladi combines constructio...

A House a day keeps unemployment away A House a day keeps unemployment away A house a day keeps unemployment away When compiling a Project Implementing Plan (PIP) we gather all the information required to streamline the production process. Moladi construction system is capable to produce a shell per day.  The "assembly teams" are trained up and production processes are streamlined to ensure that no "bottle necks" are created in the assembly line (construction process).   The foundation team produces raft foundation or slabs at the rate required and are left to cure for seven days before the superstructure team assembles the formwork or moulds on the foundation.  The formwork is erected in four hours and filled in two. The amount of workers will either increase or decrease depending on the size of the top structure (square meterage of moladi formwork).   The formwork is removed the next day in two hours and re-erected on the next foundation.
