I have been recently following the introspective flashback on the 20 years of political democracy which has existed in South Africa.The show focuses on several sectors of governmental industries and their allocation within the countries economic structure. The motivation for this flashback is to educate citizens of SA on both the democratic and voting process.

The series has been targeting remote areas as well as the two largest financial inputs within the gross domestic product. One of the remote areas in comparison to the central business districts of the country was the Free State. There has been an outreach towards the people of the Free State based on population size there is a large population which is active in terms of voting however there has also been a history of inefficient behaviour on the part of the IEC which has in the past discouraged voters, this year the voting regulations have enforced a more efficient way of voting which comes with more strict rules.

Although there has been great emphasis on voting the aim is to communicate that message clearly, an example of journalism on a wide scale being narrowed is the documentary taking an interest in the town of Tweespruit.One of the financial resources within the town is from farming, which is part of a larger industry in the country known as agriculture. This industry is vital mostly because a country that is able to feed itself is able to survive, food is part of the most basic needs in Maslows hierarchy of needs.Currently the industry is experiencing many changes some of these changes include more production of poultry and dairy farming abroad in Brazil.This results in a great disparity among farmers as well as a decline in new farmers who would not have the capital to start farming.

In order to grow the agriculture industry commercial farmers are extending across financial and racial boundaries,from this interaction there are talks of forming a union.Education on agriculture production is ongoing. The other industrial sector worth discussing was mining, which over the past 20 years in South Africa has served as the backbone of the economic component of the country. The industry is separated by many unions and has had a history of sustainability until 2012, where there were strikes held in Marikana. One event highlighted the very importance of mining which is the quality of life for the employees. Initially when the mining companies were being listed on the stock exchange share prices went up and companies such as Zama Zamas and the Mathomo Group where at the forefront in the gold sector. The Mathomo Group was selling at 10 000 000 at R2.00.

In the future mining companies will have to deal with issues such as nationalisation as a form if sharing the countries resource.In terms of the employee standards of living one issue which will be one of the focus points is the type of illnesses which can affect miners physically and mentally.One of the mining unions NUM is raising funds for the miners market.
