Poor people who migrate across the country do so for many reasons. We cannot, in the year 2012, go back to policies that seek to block migration - as was the case under apartheid.
We cannot in the year 2012 go back to policies that seek to block migration as it was in the case under apartheid. The SA Social Security Agency, Sassa, will pay people wherever they are. I hope that people who moved to the Western Cape will not be called refugees. [Applause.]
Therefore we must stop stigmatising people and not use racist and demeaning words. We should not label our people. I hope you are going to support us in fighting all forms of discrimination and stigmatisation.
Regarding the issue of the Child Protection Register, we have said on a number of occasions that in this country there is loss. Precedence has been set in other countries that when you convict a person you have to go through the courts again. You have to follow a process before you declare a person as unfit to work with children. So, it is also not proper for us to come here and make noises when we know that there are processes that we all agreed to.
