S.Africa and Cuba to share skills

WARNING: This is Version 1 of my old archive, so Photos will NOT work and many links will NOT work. But you can find articles by searching on the Titles. There is a lot of information in this archive. Use the SEARCH BAR at the top right. Prior to December 2012; I was a pro-Christian type of Conservative. I was unaware of the mass of Jewish lies in history, especially the lies regarding WW2 and Hitler. So in here you will find pro-Jewish and pro-Israel material. I was definitely WRONG about the Boeremag and Janusz Walus. They were for real.

S.Africa and Cuba to share skills

[The ANC loves communist Cuba. Jan]

Johannesburg – Labour Minister Membathisi Mdladlana and his Cuban counterpart Alfredo Morales Cartaya have signed a memorandum of understanding focusing on employment, social security and occupational health and safety.

The agreement makes provision for the exchange of experts in these fields between the two countries, Mdladlana’s office said in a statement.

It said that the way in which Cubans have survived the blockade, which prevented trade with its neighbour the US from 1961, provided South Africa with valuable lessons.

“Despite this blockade Cuba has grown tourism from one million visitors to Havana to over 1,9 million, which has also resulted in more jobs being created especially for young people,” Mdladlana said.

He said he was particularly interested in social workers who had been dispatched by the Cuban government to villages throughout the country to assist people to access social services and said this was similar to President Thabo Mbeki’s proposals on development workers.

Cartaya, whose portfolio includes social services, said a team of Cuban experts was already in South Africa providing South Africans with information on their own experiences.

The agreement also allows for the development of joint projects, the exchange of technological information, advice on the drafting of legislation and regulations and skills development for vulnerable groups.
