Possible way to reduce unemployment & loadshedding within 4-8 years #Thread 1/3 1. Solar on public schools nationwide • there are ±20 000 schools under Dep. Basic Education • Panyaza Lesufi 's solar program aimed to create 6 000 jobs for technicians • that makes 6 jobs for every 20 schools
3/3 #Thread if Department of Energy Eskom Hld SOC Ltd introduce a feed-in tariff for anyone who has solar • this would encourage private sector investment in increasing the 5kW benchmark - increasing scope and capacity - and jobs created.
The Department of Energy has the opportunity to purchase the power from Dep. Basic Education for cheap The funds can be used by Dep. Basic Education for infrastructural development, feeding schemes, social development programs, bursary programmes This creates sustainability for schools
Possible way to unemployment within 4-8 years #Thread 1/3 Commercialisation of subsistence farming Limpopo (Limpopo Provincial Government) is a lush province with the tastiest produce (fruits and vegetables) • Most people grow their own fruits and vegetables • The yards are big enough
The collective value of the produce is likely to attract private sector investment. Companies like Checkers, Food Lover's Market, Pick n Pay could create jobs in transportation, packaging, production, etc. Additionally, the lot sizes allow for growth and expansion of the program
