More aboutThembalethu
Thembalethu is a township on the Garden Route and is situated south of George, along the N2 and adjacent to Pacaltsdorp. The name "Thembalethu" is Xhosa and means "Our Hope".
Thembalethu is a poor township with many social ills. Two of the biggest challenges that residents in the community face are alcohol abuse and unemployment.
Other challenges that residents face include:
- Housing.
- Parks for children to play in.
- Sports facilities.
- More visibility of the police.
Most government services that can alleviate these problems are now available and can be accessed online, which is easy and less time-consuming.
Most residents in Thembalethu are employed in security services, agriculture, construction, domestic work, garden work, and retail and don’t have easy, affordable access to online services.
