“I am very happy that they are here to come and tell the people their rights for them and what they must do if we’ve got a problem. I think people are now going to know what happening around a situation they got and they know how to go ahead and do the right thing for them,” says Olivier.One of the youth in attendance, Siyabulela Jonas says that he hopes that the government departments will continue to engage communities even after the elections.
“I am very happy that government at last is coming to the people, but my worry is that it should not be a phase thing. We understand that we are in a critical phase now for elections and stuff. People of KwaLanga should enjoy seeing the government coming to them and providing these services. We know when we go to the offices in town, they are very crowded,” says Jonas.

They assist unemployed youth, but also those who were previously employed.“We have to create the conditions for the private sector to be able to invest in order to create jobs. But also, the various departments are having their own initiatives, including what we would call state-owned enterprises. They are also having the initiatives.
