(thanks Cape Times and IOL)The Southern African Media and Gender Institute (SAMGI) has arranged for a donation of 15 computers (from the Dell Foundation) and a printer (from Xerox) to be given to Hawequa Youth Correctional Facility in Wellington on Tues Dec 5th.
The computer trainers believe that this training will boost their self-esteem and open doors to better jobs after prison.
The picture (fully visible in the Cape Times of Wed Dec 6th) shows one prisoner being supervised and working on some menu-ridden official-looking program. The other three prisoners are playing games - two of which are Solitaire (at separate computers, natch). Work skills, indeed!
