Development
Mount Frere is very underdeveloped in terms of infrastructure and sanitation. There are few proper public roads and most of the roads are gravel roads. Most people who do not have water tanks still make use river water and most of the villages are still without electricity.
Other businesses are Banks, Post Office, Shops Restaurants and Schools.There is rarely any skills development in the area and as a result most of the youth have moved to the cities and more developed towns like Mthatha, Kokstad, Johannesburg, Pretoria, Port Elizabeth, Durban and Cape Town. Most of the people in Mount Frere are the elderly and the mature age group this is mostly accelerated by the staggering unemployment rates and lack of essential services like proper infrastructure and skills development.
Plans for further development in Mount Frere are currently ongoing but the issue of skills development, infrastructure and sanitation is still overlooked and settlement control.Crime rates are peaking up due to mostly these economic challenges.
Mount Frere despite these economic challenges is still loved by the locals because it meets some of basic needs and nearer to their neighborhoods.

Famous quotes containing the word development:
“The work of adult life is not easy. As in childhood, each step presents not only new tasks of development but requires a letting go of the techniques that worked before. With each passage some magic must be given up, some cherished illusion of safety and comfortably familiar sense of self must be cast off, to allow for the greater expansion of our distinctiveness.”
—Gail Sheehy (20th century)
“John B. Watson, the most influential child-rearing expert [of the 1920s], warned that doting mothers could retard the development of children,... Demonstrations of affection were therefore limited. “If you must, kiss them once on the forehead when they say goodnight. Shake hands with them in the morning.””
—Sylvia Ann Hewitt (20th century)
“The highest form of development is to govern one’s self.”
—Zerelda G. Wallace (1817–1901)
