Transport must help to unite the energies of all spheres of government with those of the private sector and our rural communities, so that we can learn to coordinate and share the skills that transform lives. Improved rural roads infrastructure and transport systems must support initiatives like the Moloto multi-purpose centre, so that they can play their full potential role. Every centre such as this must serve as a dynamic nucleus for rural socio-economic growth, helping our communities to concentrate resources and develop new capacities. In so doing, we find more direct routes to the types of delivery that make a real difference to people's lives. Our President himself has indicated that our processes must be such that they lead directly to speedy results.
Processes are important.
If they are good, they include people and release creativity. If they are bureaucratic and distant, they isolate people and breed cynicism. Good processes are not easy to build. But we have made a start. The provinces have already identified their own integrated rural development goals and drafted their delivery plans.
