Deputy Speaker, the ANC is satisfied with the milestones that the department has set itself with regard to Sassa to address the matters raised in 2009-10 financial report by the Auditor-General. Vote No 19 represents the investment and the commitment of the government, led by ANC, to improving the lives of the poor, aged, youth, women and disabled in our society. The formulation of developmental welfare policy, community development initiatives, population policy, as well as social security reform and provision are the key priorities of the Department of Social Development and Sassa.
This Vote is highly valued by all South Africans and makes working together to build better communities a reality for us all. [Applause.]
