Acting Speaker, hon Deputy President, it is clear that we are not winning the war against poverty, especially if we go by the figures that have been released, in research done by the UCT Children's Institute, that 60% of children in South Africa now are living in poverty. The majority of these children come from homes that have earnings of approximately R575 on a monthly basis.
Therefore, if that is the case, it means that there should be serious intervention being planned by the government. Can you take us into your confidence as to how exactly government is planning to actually work on the special interventions to deal with poverty? When will we have realignment of antipoverty programmes directly with the National Development Plan? Thank you.
