House Chairperson, this department is one of the crucial departments in South Africa. If it was led properly, if there was political will within this department, we wouldn't be sitting here talking about not supporting this budget.
The social welfare in this country has been in chartered since the dawn of democracy. We have seen programmes of alcohol abuse, programmes that are aimed at removing or ailing girl children from the abuse that they are facing collapsing in this country but this is all because lack of political will within this department.
