Rural upliftment project fails

A vegetable$-$growing project aimed at providing food and jobs for one of the poorest areas in the North West has failed. A few years ago, the Tosca project was one of six vegetable tunnel enterprises on which the Dr Ruth Mompati Municipality spent R$3$m$.$ The money was provided for start$-$up opportunities $-$ the aim being that the recipients would generate a profit, maintain the project and save a portion of the profits to reinvest and do the necessary repairs. After a storm destroyed the tunnels three years ago, there was no money available for repairs. Local residents argued that part of the problem was a lack of mentorship, supervision and expertise.
