We will expand the project to include the remaining provinces. I repeat the call I made last year on you, hon members, to adopt rivers in your areas. We are ready to support your participation.
As a way of ensuring active participation by women in water resource management, we made a call to women out there to identify water-related challenges in their areas, conduct research, develop projects, and make recommendations to the department on how those challenges can be addressed. Four hundred and fifty projects were registered, support was provided and workshops were held. Eleven projects from six provinces won the 2010 awards. Malibongwe futhi, lamakhosikazi! [Let the name of the women be praised!]
HON MEMBERS: Malibongwe! [Let it be praised!]
