Age 15 & Over who can read and write 86%
School equipped with Libraries <10%7.5-million South Africans are out of work. Young people are worst affected, with over half of 18- to 25-year-olds unemployed
The Existing Playing FieldThe National Education Infrastructure Management System of DoE shows that of 24929 Schools assessed in South Africa:
7883 have flush toilets and 1000 have no toilets at all
Only 2482, less than 10% have Equipped Science Laboratories
Fewer that 15% have Electricity
7.5% have a stocked library
Only 1 in 5 children in Grade 5 can read on a Grade 5 level
Less than half of all learners who enter Grade 10 go on to complete matric and DoE estimates that the first year university throughput is not 40%
Education in South Africa receives the biggest share of the country's budget. R165 billion was allocated to the Department so Basic Education and of Higher Education and Training for 2010/11, R17 billion more than in 2009/10.
The Existing Playing FieldThe following backlog is being experienced with regard to curriculum spaces at schools across South Africa:
446 Replacement of mud, wood, prefabricated and metal structures
514 Schools to be provided with sanitation
714 Schools to be electrified
1,069 Schools to be provided with water
4,050 Sports facilities
13,617 Computer centres
14,989 Libraries
15,368 Multipurpose rooms
15,435 Nutrition centres
16,516 Administration blocks
Today’s Youth
Mission Statement (Got Game):
Putting the youth in touch with resources to fuel their ambitions
The Existing Playing FieldGame is a social enterprise with the intent to build an application and e-commerce site – designed by social entrepreneurs – to provide an online communal aggregation hub – allowing like minded individuals and youth to publish their ideas, concepts, trade their goods and skills for commercial gain + contributing a percentage to building schools, parks and hosting of a K12 educational platform.
Got We believe that we have the opportunity to create a blend of corporate and youth sponsored initiatives that will broaden the horizons for many hopeful young people who are seeking an opportunity to showcase their worth through launching and supporting sustainable projects in their surrounds.
The common thread that ties us all together is access to social media technology via mobile internet as there are more registered cell phone handsets than there are bank accounts, university diplomas
We have used this common thread to form the basis for communication, collaboration and trade. It is our expectation to grow this community to more than one (1) million active users across Sub-Saharan Africa, Spain and the United States.
The youth are engaging more and more in a global village where they network and cross borders via Facebook and other platforms to share their photos, news and experiences. We would like to take this a step further an allow them to use this network to gain access to employment and funding resources and opportunities that are currently under utilized. There are many young people living in cities or rural areas that have no idea of the funding or resources available to them to support their ideas and these ideas often die even before they have had the opportunity to blossom.

Enterprise Development and Training
Skills Required in the 21st Century
Enablement via the pop up The Pop Up is a Digital Hub that offers a collection point for skills,
knowledge and expertise and innovation to foster growth and to assist the facilitation of skills transfer and education in a single location
The Pop Up allows many to work without barriers, creating, using and passing on knowledge for the benefit of all - students, businesses, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), senior citizens and the indigenous community.
The Pop Up works well in supporting broadband reach for operators, representing new avenues to increase ARPU as well as Social Impact.
The Pop Up through its technology bridges the digital divide by allowing trainers and trainees, Universities and Students, Financial Institutions, NGO’s and entrepreneurs to engage online or offline through programs that can service communities to gain improvement in their daily lives
Opportunities in Services sector The service sector represents only 25 per cent of the labour force in
developing countries compared with more than 67 per cent in the industrial nations.
This sector is as amenable to stimulation by government policies as agriculture or manufacturing, and it also provides impetus for the growth of other sectors.
India has adopted an innovative, low-cost, self-employment strategy to expand availability of long-distance telecommunications services by setting up small private telephone and fax centres throughout the country.
Informal private service enterprises in construction, commerce, food catering, repair and transport have vast growth potential
Sites such as elance.com, guru.com, odesk.com, getafreelancer.com, sologig.com represent some of the
