Mabutsane Amongst Leading Poverty Stricken Areas

MABUTSANE: The Mabutsane Sub-District Council chairperson Kgopolo Stammere-Ramosesane has told a full council meeting that they are still rated amongst the leading in the country when it comes to poverty.

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.

“The sub-district has a large number of people being cushioned against these challenges and this paint a gloomy picture of the socio-economic and psychological state of our people.
