The 100th Thusong Service Centre, which was officially opened by President Thabo Mbeki on Saturday, will not only serve as a centre for government services but of new opportunities for the local residents.
The Thusong Service Centre, situated in the remote Inhlazuka area near Richmond, is aimed at providing the local community access to national and provincial government services, such as ID document and social grants applications.
However, residents both young and old will also have the opportunity to learn computer literacy skills which could open up further opportunities for them in the future.
Centre Manager Musa Ndlovu told BuaNews that a high premium was placed on the introduction of information and communications technologies at this centre.
"My aim is to help everyone in the area, from all age groups, become computer literate," said Mr Ndlovu, adding that to achieve this there needed to be a supply of electricity and phone lines for Internet in Nhlazuka homes. He reasons that anyone who knows how to use a mobile phone can use a computer, including senior learners.
