The Spacal Development Inisitive (SDI) Program, aims to develop the rural areas of South Africa, by 10 main areas of investment. It aims to attract investment from foreign countrys, and to support the international market via the main mineing industrys in South Africa.
Coal, Gold and other Natural Resorses.
It's mission is to develop the rural areas of South Africa, so that people don'tn flock to the major citys and conjest them to the point on unpractability. By doing this it also has to relieve decades of Apharteid Opression.

Rural Community’s in South Africa

The community’s in much of South Africa, like Simuwene, are mostly rural and without infestructure. The country has a history of many people taking advantage of strikes as many people would prefer to strike than to work for their pay.

In Simuwene, a different approach has been taken because they have no jobs to start with! Where subsistent farming has been turned into subsistence building, with them using the water they thankfully have, and the clay like ground to make bricks, with only a few tools being sponsored, and a few teachers in the art of building. In 5 years they have made a proper community for themselves. The question now is if the rest of Africa can follow in example.

Activity 1 - Development

1) Development is the rise in infestructure and economic growth in a particular area.
2) HDI (Human Development Index); Life Expectancy; Infant Mortality rate; % of children reciving secondary education.
3) Developed                                                                           Non-Developed
 High Average Income (GNI)                                                  Low Average Income (GNI)
 Long Life Expectency (+70 years)                                         Short Life Expectency (40-60 years)
 Low Infant Mortality Rate (-10)                                             High Infant Mortality Rate (+40)
 % of Children Reciving Secondary Education (+70%)          % of Children Reciving  Secondary Education (-30%)
 No. of Cellular or Fixed-Line Phones PP (+50%)                  No. of Cellular or Fixed-Line Phones PP (-20%)
4) LEDC stands for "Less Economicly Developed Country" and MEDC stands for "More Economicly Devoloped Countrys".
5)1) There is no direct coilition between the 2 Figures
    2) The one figure is based on the development of medical infestructure in the country asswell as cultural/socal standards, while the other is based on mainly the wealth of a country vs. the working population.
    3) Zambia, Swaziland, Mozambique, Lesotho and Angola have a high rate of infant mortality because of lack of medical infestructure and low African cultural standards of sexual intercoarse, resulting in the spread of many STD's, including mainly HIV/AIDS, one of the top agents resulting in death of humans.
    4) Subsistance farming is farming on a low-scale production, only intended to feed the workers that grew the crops, moastly by plowed, planted and harvested by hand.
    5)In order for ssubsistance farming to develop, it would have to be classified as commercal farming because the farmers must produce more crops than for just themselves, and then use the surplus to sell for cash, which can then be used for purchase of other items the farmers would have net have been able to make themselves.
6) Sustainable Development is Development fulled by something that will never run out or fail, which means that the area will continue to develop for at least 100 years before reasorses run out and depression sets in.
7)  a) End Extreme Poverty and Hunger
      b) Give Primary Education to all Children.
 c) Promote Equality between Men and Women, and to Empower Women in turn.
 d) Reduce Child Mortality
 e) Improve the health of Pregnant Mothers
 f) Fight major desieses, in perticular HIV/AIDS and Malairia, the worlds moast deadly desiese.
 g) Insure a sustainable Inviroment
 h) Promote partnerships between govornments, buisnesses and orgonisations to promote Development.
