The Department of Agriculture in the Western Cape is committed to the total
empowerment of all the people in the Agricultural home for all.

“We place very high premium on the education and emerging farmers,” says MEC
for Agriculture Cobus Dowry. In an effort to bring agriculture closer to the
people, we are opening a third decentralised training facility in 18 months and
this time in Oudtshoorn.

Premier Ebrahim Rasool will officially open the facility on Friday, 24
February 2006, at 10:00 at the experimental farm of the Department of
Agriculture in Oudtshoorn.

You are invited to witness this occasion and report on it.
