Speaker, ons in die opposisie moet herhaalde kere luister na beloftes oor hoe die regering planne het om armoede aan te pak. Wat ons egter vandag werklik wil weet - en ons het di vraag verlede jaar ook gevra, en nie 'n direkte antwoord daarop gekry nie - is hoeveel geld reeds aan die anti-armoedeprogram bestee is, en of daar 'n tasbare effek op armoede is, en of ons daardie lys kan kry. Dankie. (Translation of Afrikaans paragraph follows.)
[Mr J J VAN DER LINDE: Speaker, as members of the opposition we have to listen repeatedly to the promises that the government makes with regard to plans on how to address poverty. What we really would like to get clarity on today actually - and we posed this question last year also and did not receive any direct answer to it - is how much money has been spent already with regard to the Anti-Poverty Programme, whether there has been a tangible impact on poverty, and whether we could obtain that specific list. Thank you.]
