Ek hoop en vertrou dat hierdie wetgewing nie net op papier sal wees nie, maar dat dit regtig aan die pleidooie van ons mense aandag sal gee en dat die regering nie aalmoese sal gee om ons mense beter te laat voel nie. Ons moet ons mense ontwikkel sodat hulle regtig 'n s kan h in hulle eie toekoms sodat dit 'n permanente verskil kan maak in hul lewens. (Translation of Afrikaans paragraph follows.)
[Mr J J GUNDA: I hope and trust that this legislation would not be mere words on a piece of paper, but that it will really address the appeals of our people and that the government will not hand out alms to make our people feel better. We have to develop our people so that they can really have a say in their own future in order to make a permanent difference in their lives.]
I would like to close with this, Chair. Yes, this ANC government of today has failed, but they have done something very, very important - they have recognised the plight of the poor. I hope that this Bill will truly assist our people - assist them to see to it that people have a much, much better life! We as the ID support this Bill.
