“The country is on the Fourth Industrial Revolution and is currently building on artificial intelligence. Therefore, we cannot be left behind, and the military veterans were put on training.”

Upskill them?

None of them will be younger than 50, you don't upskill at 50. If they haven't upskilled by this point they're not going to.

The amount of innovation required to become an entrepreneur is mind-blowing..

Take a R2000 tablet, slap on a R3000 markup, boom, you've made it

“We managed to train 3,000 military veterans who got their tablets. It was a five-day training, and they got a certificate.”

Sounds like a grueling course.
How did they cope.

probably stolen already

The scary thing is that there will be higher positions that will fall for that "motivation" and voters who think it's all legit...

 

[Sargeant]

So, based on past experience, that will be 2 tablets at R 53 million.

Look 5 days is not going to get you anywhere.
Waste of time.
Stop stealing and procure proper equipment for children.

They also get more than double the normal State pension:

In my area, there is a block of houses, given to them to stay in for free. And the power cables around there houses get stolen regularly. Was thinking they can arrange their own patrol. All ex anC freedom fighters . Maybe they can monitor cctv cameras on this tablets. They will also demand free wifi.
