Paul Mashatile | Let's roll up our sleeves and work
Fourteen days ago, President Cyril Ramaphosa appointed me deputy president of the republic.
This week, for the first time, I chaired a meeting of the SA National Aids Council. Consistent with the cooperative and inclusive spirit that informed our transition to democracy and gave rise to institutions such as Nedlac, the council is a practical representation of what we can do as a nation to overcome our problems. It can surely be replicated in other areas.
This is an old problem that has its roots in that infamous question of apartheid prime minister Hendrik Verwoerd: Deputy President Paul MashatilePHOTO:TEBOGO LETSIEFor example, of the country’s 970 000 Grade 8 pupils in 2017, only 259 000 eventually wrote the mathematics exam, while a paltry 136 000 sat for the matric science exam in 2021.
In a sense, the tasks defined by the president place me as a grievance officer of sorts to whom every sector and citizen should feel free to express their concerns about government commissions and omissions.
