“The hub is incubating youth, women and people living with disability with preparatory fourth industrial revolution (4IR) skills development, innovation, and technology and entrepreneurship development,” said the presidency.
Speaking on the eve of the imbizo, co-operative governance and traditional affairs minister Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma said the visit would also check that government resources are being used properly
“If we work in silos, it does not have the same impact as when we are integrated, co-ordinated and working together,” she said.
“The president will interact, listen, learn from them and hear what they think because we do not have the monopoly on ideas. People also have ideas.”
