Chairperson, I move without notice: That the Council -
(1) notes that the eradication of poverty can only be achieved through an integrated approach that combines programmes targeted at the poor with policies and strategies that meet the basic needs of all people;
(2) recognises that such an integrated approach had been at the centre of the ANC government's policies since 1994;
(3) further recognises that in the short space of six years the ANC has been able to provide -
(a) a million new houses;
(b) over 500 clinics and free medical care for pregnant women and children under six;
(c) 24 000 better classrooms;
(d) one million more children in schools;
(e) electricity to 2,5 million houses; (f) pensions and child welfare grants for all;
(g) tarred roads in former black and rural areas;
(h) clean water to six million people; and
(i) land distribution and over 1,8 million new telephone lines; and
(4) welcomes the commitment by the ANC to speed up the extension of these services to ensure that even more South Africans will soon experience a qualitative change in their lives.
