Hon Speaker, the ANC government is delivering on the promise made by President Zuma last year to impoverished white communities that government services would be provided equally to all South Africans. The ANC has always strived to work towards building more united, nonracial and integrated communities across our cities and towns.
Fifteen white families received a warm welcome from their black neighbours at Chief Mogale Gardens last Thursday, 25 August 2011. One of the beneficiaries is a 57-year-old lady, Mrs Beukes, a mother of six who has never owned a house before, and was on the waiting list for about 10 years. She shares the four-and-a-half-roomed RDP house with two of her six children. This initiative takes forward the ANC's commitment to the transformation of our cities and towns, as well as to building cohesive, sustainable and caring communities. Thank you. [Applause.]
