Hon Chairperson, we thank the hon member for his statement about the 10 000 jobs that will be created in the North West. This is a good-news statement and an indication of how the Expanded Public Works Programme, EPWP, is looking at best practice within the provinces and emulating them.
Do-it-yourself is modelled on the successful programme of Vuk'uzenzele in KwaZulu-Natal, KZN. KwaZulu-Natal and North West are leading in labour- intensive service delivery models. We encourage MPs to engage provincial MECs, local government and us to form partnerships in developing service delivery models that can make an impact on the lives of rural people. Thank you. [Applause.]
