Thank you, Chairperson. Deputy President, I think your government must be commended for your efforts - which you have just explained to us - of alleviating the strife of those who are mostly poverty- stricken in our country, as well as your efforts of addressing the issue of joblessness. But the ancillary problem in this regard is, of course, corruption.
I would like to know what your government is doing in all those many ANC- controlled municipalities across the country where you, as the government, have put in so much of the efforts to alleviate poverty. Those funds are corrupted and stolen by corrupt officials, as was evidenced just this week in the "City of Choice", Msunduzi Municipality, KwaZulu-Natal province. Do you have plans in place to stop this flow - I want to say, this tide of corruption - that steals the money meant for the poor and indigent?
