Land, Lives & Liberty Pt. 3: How can we make life in rural SA better?

Loading player...
Life in rural SA is much harder than it needs to be. Jobs are scarce, growth non-existent, circumstances harsh. Large parts of our country have been forgotten by those in power, failed and exploited by those in office. This must change – and it can.

Hermann Pretorius and IRR analyst and researcher, Gabriel Crouse, discuss the challenges faced by rural SA and how we as a country should approach them.

This briefing is the third and final one of this series, as a precursor to the release of the IRR's latest report and accompanying short-documentary, this Saturday; 'Land, Lives & Liberty'.
