Hon Chair, I would like to thank the ANC for the support and everything they have said. I would also like to thank the hon MacKenzie for interpreting the Bill correctly, and assure him that we are taking his cautions seriously. I would also like to thank hon Mpontshane and the IFP for their support. Hhayi-ke umhlonishwa uMnqasela ngimuncamile. [Uhleko.] [Well, I give up on hon Mngasela. [Laughter.]]
He pretends not to understand the Bill, but he understands it. I now realise that he always says the opposite of what is the fact. [Interjections.] He says that this Bill will help the middle class.
This Bill is not for the middle class. That is why we are saying we want to streamline the registration of children who are orphans. [Interjections]. No, social workers will be involved where children are in a home. Otherwise, we will regulate how orphaned children, who are not in homes, are dealt with.
But the reality of hon Mnqasela's input is to protect the paid agents because it's that middle class that pays agents to register their children. [Interjections.] That is what we are doing away with, which is what he wants to maintain. That's all, that's all. [Interjections.]
When we say anyone can register, we know that people are paid. They go with forms this big. Our people who have used public transport and come from far are delayed because they come with these piles of forms, having been paid by middle class parents to go and register their children. That we don't want and we are going to do away with it. [Applause.]
