Sihlalo, siliphondo leMpuma Koloni siwuthathele ingqalelo lo Mthetho osaYilwayo. Siwucingisisile siliphondo leMpuma Koloni safumanisa okokuba kukokuqala mhlawumbi nokokugqibela ukuba amalungelo abantu abangomama aviwe elizweni. Kungenxa yalo mbutho kaKhongolose obangele ukuba nathi sifumane ithuba.
Lo Mthetho osaYilwayo ugxininisa ikakhulu kubantu abangathathi ntweni; abangazanga bazi ukuba bangaze bavule amashishini; nabantu abangazange bathathelwe ngqalelo kumashishini abasebenza kuwo nakwiindawo abasebenza kuzo eburhulumenteni. Siyavuma siliphondo laseMpuma Koloni ukuba uMzantsi Afrika siyawuthatha siwubhekisa phambili. Enkosi. (Translation of isiXhosa paragraphs follows.)
[Ms D Z RANTHO: Hon Chairperson, we support this Bill as the province of the Eastern Cape. We thought about it as a province and found that it is the first, and maybe the last, time that the rights of women will be considered in this country. It is the ANC that gave us this opportunity.
This Bill focuses on poor people, who do not know that they may own businesses; and those who were not taken into consideration in the industries and government sectors where they worked. We are happy as the province of the Eastern Cape because we are moving South Africa forwards. Thank you.]
