Tuesday 2 March 2010

Monday and today where all about handing out the final acceptance letters to the chosen entrepreneurs from Sharpeville and Ratanda, yesterday we did Sharpeville but the Service-Delivery strikes are still happening, it's getting more intense now, people burning tyres and mattresses, barricading the roads...police have stepped in and shots have been fired..but, as exciting as i find all this we cant actually go in to Sharpeville. We delivered the letters to Machobane Mabitle, one of the chosen entrepreneurs, outside of Sharpeville.
Today we went to Ratanda, these guys aren't on strike.. they say they have more discipline...they'll wait until after the World Cup. funny..
We handed out all the letters and even took some details from people interested in the second intake, it's best to keep the ball rolling! Sharpevilles' intake is supposed to start this Friday, but due to the strike things are looking really bleak in the ways of accessing the area safely and starting the programme withoout disturbance..We will just have to see what happens!
