Minister Marais said, “Our department makes a significant difference in bringing about positive change to our communities. We improve the self-esteem of our youth and identify in them talents they would otherwise not explore. We enable a love for reading, history, culture, heritage and arts which improves educational outcomes, not only for the youth but our province as whole. We open channels of communication so that all in our province is able to access our services irrespective of their mother tongues because we promote linguistic democracy by elevating the status of all 3 official languages. I can go on and on about why we are a fundamental department in the Western Cape Government, but there will be no department and we would not be fundamental without our hardworking and loyal officials”.
Photographs of specific officials are available upon request.
