"as vital as the ability to use a computer."

We're running a 5 day basic computer skills course - Pass mark is 80%.
20% of learners pass. It's basic schit.
I taught MCSE in 2010, never again.

I beg to differ with Capitec

Engineering not just IT but Mechanical, Electrical is what we need and what will be the fastest growing career going forward as we look to rebuild the country.

WE NEED ENGINEERS

Engineers, but any skilled workers really. There is a very clear divide forming and we desperately need more people on the skilled side. Menial labour is becoming less and less of a demand and will continue to be automated and replaced because of heath and safety, human rights etc which is good but if those people don't transition over to skilled labour they will have no function in society.

We are at a point where even semi skilled labour is under pressure. Call centres, admin staff etc are all planned for replacement by technology solutions in the near future.

My bet would rather be on skills to smuggle sanctioned goods.

And I'm pretty data-literate if I have to say so myself.

No we don`t. Socialist countries don`t need engineers. There is no rebuilding of SA.
