Stammere-Ramosesane said on Tuesday that members of the community still face social ills, which sadly put them in the less well-off category. He listed social ills such as dysfunctional families, disregard for education, alcohol abuse, lack of job opportunies and limited market opportunities as some that exacerbates the situation.  The district has 19 villages, which are mostly under Rural Area Development Programme (RADP) and affirmative action, which give preference to the residents in terms of employment and other benefits.
