Some problems that are especially troubling are the high rates of crime, HIV/AIDS, and unemployment. Not to mention fighting racism that has prevailed since they were colonized by the Dutch and English and was intensified during the racist times of Apartheid.

Through education the people will be better prepared to improve their health, they can create more jobs and continue to prosper.
