Camagu mama!
English:
Deputy Speaker, Mister President and hon members, South Africa needs key interventions in order to eradicate poverty, place more citizens in jobs in particular young people whilst closing the gap between the haves and the have-nots. We need massive investment in the maintenance and development of a well co-ordinated and integrated socioeconomic infrastructure that is driven by government.
Reading the City Press report recently on the state of the Mahikeng socioeconomic infrastructure is further confirmation that the country cannot wait for another year without this massive investment into the infrastructure development. Mister President we invite you to visit places like Ikhwezi Township, Norwood and North Crest Suburbs in Mthatha to witness the reality of a road infrastructure that is nonexistent. Like in many other parts of the country, these potholes have caused damage to private property such as motor vehicles. This is not only limited to the infrastructure that does not exist but it includes that which has been upgraded but not maintained properly.
