Hon Chairperson, as we mark the 18th year of our political freedom, we need to reflect on what we can do today to provide our people with opportunities to liberate themselves from poverty. We will certainly all agree that nothing can be more liberating than to be in a job and earning a regular wage or salary. Thus, I dedicate my speech today to the more than 6 million South African citizens who are jobless.
HON MEMBERS: Hear, hear!
