Eastern Cape (CET)
, South AfricaHistory and Background The Community Education and (CET) Training Colleges were established by the Minister of Department of Higher Educations & Training (DHET) in terms of Section 3(1)(b) of the Continuing Education and Training Act 16 of 2006. These Colleges came into existence on 1 April 2015 when the Public Adult Learning Centres (PALC) migrated to the DHET from the Provincial Education Departments (PED). The sector consists of 3 276 Community Learning Centres, grouped into 9 CETCs (1 College in each Province). The Eastern Cape CET College is one of these 9 CET Colleges. EC CET College Governing Structure The College currently operates with a fully-fledged Governing Council as per Section 10(4) and 10(6) of the Continuing Education and Training Act 16 of 2006. The management structure is made up of:- The Principal, who is the Accounting Officer; 3 Deputy Principals (Academic, Corporate and Finance) The Demographics The Eastern Cape Province is mostly dependant on agriculture, the automotive industry, local government, civil society organisations and the informal economy (hawkers) as drivers of the local economy. The east and north east part of the Province are made up of OR Tambo, Alfred Nzo, Chris Hani, Joe Gqabi and part of Amathole municipalities as depicted in Figure 1 below. These are generally high density, poverty- depressed rural areas, with underdeveloped towns that largely serve as trading hubs. Despite the fact that this region accounts for the bulk of potential arable land, and has a high rainfall pattern and water to sustain agriculture and forestry, the area focuses on consumption, with very little production. Alfred Nzo and Joe Gqabi districts also have development potential, with a strong contribution from forestry and livestock production. The College programmes in this region should be much agricultural and agro processing based Figure 1: District Municipalities of the Eastern Cape Province The Province’s two Metropolitan areas together account for 58.3% of gross value added (GVA) to the provincial economy (38.7% in Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality and 19.6% in Buffalo City Municipality). These metropolitans have townships that are mostly populated with out of school youth who lack relevant entrepreneurial skills that will enable them, if properly trained, to tap into the local township economy. The local economy has high levels of unemployment (adults and youth), poverty, a lack of relevant skills and a lack of entrepreneurial skills. The automotive and manufacturing sectors in the Province are located in these metros. The College seeks therefore to offer skills that will enable the participants to take part in economic activities both formal and non-formal. The College aims to break the low literacy rate and skill the communities and engage with all the identified stakeholders to foster sound working relations. Furthermore, it will sign MOAs and MOUs with sister departments, industry, SETAs and other post-school institutions to forge partnerships which will pave ways to the sustainability of its programmes.

, South AfricaSituational Analysis 8.1 External Environment Analysis The information that follows in the section below which provides an analysis of the external environment of the province, has been obtained from the North West Provincial Government website (www.nwpg.gov.za) which provides links to information on the individual district municipalities. North West lies in the north of South Africa on the Botswana border, fringed by the Kalahari Desert in the west, Gauteng province to the east and the Free State to the south. It covers an area of 104 882km² and has a population of 3 748 436. Much of the province consists of flat areas of scattered trees and grassland. The Vaal River flows along the southern border of the province. Mahikeng (previously Mafikeng) is the capital. The city lies near the Botswana border and forms a single urban area with its neighbouring town, Mmabatho. Potchefstroom and Klerksdorp are the biggest cities in the province. Other main towns are Brits, Rustenburg, Klerksdorp and Lichtenburg. Most economic activity is concentrated in the southern region between Potchefstroom and Klerksdorp, as well as Rustenburg and the eastern region. Mining is the major contributor to the North West economy and represents almost a quarter of South Africa’s mining industry as a whole. The Rustenburg and Brits towns produce more platinum than any other single area in the world. North West also produces a quarter of South Africa’s gold, as well as granite, marble, fluorspar and diamonds. North West has a number of major tourist attractions, including the internationally famous Sun City, the Pilanesberg National Park, the Madikwe Game Reserve and the Rustenburg Nature Reserve. North West is well known for cattle farming, while the areas around Rustenburg and Brits are fertile, mixed-crop farming land. Maize and sunflowers are the most important crops, and the province is the major producer of white maize in the country. North West is divided into four district municipalities, which are further subdivided into 18 local municipalities. Such districts are Bojanala District,Ngaka Modiri Molema District ,Dr Ruth Segomotsi Mompati District and Dr Kenneth Kaunda District Economic drivers The mainstay of the economy of North West Province is mining, which generates more than half of the province’s gross domestic product (GDP) and provides jobs for a quarter of its workforce. The chief minerals are gold, mined at Orkney and Klerksdorp; uranium, mined at Klerksdorp; platinum, mined at Rustenburg and Brits; and diamonds, mined at Lichtenburg, Christiana and Bloemhof. The northern and western parts of the province have many sheep farms, cattle and game ranches. The eastern and southern parts are crop-growing regions that produce maize (corn), sunflowers, tobacco, cotton and citrus fruits. The entertainment and casino complex at Sun City also contribute to the provincial economy. The province has several national parks, the largest of which is Pilanesburg Game Reserve. The local economy currently faces challenges of job losses and retrenchments e.g. the mining industry is shedding thousands of jobs. The College will respond to these drivers by forging and maintaining partnerships with employers. For example, retrenched employees can be trained in the CLCs and employers pay for the services we provide. The general unemployment rate in the province is currently 33.0%. The College will forge partnerships with other government departments in the province, including the Premier’s office. The community learning centres will particularly consider the following facts: The agricultural sector in the province currently contributes 2, 6% to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of the North West Province.
