Sihlalo, mangibonge kuMntwana uMangethe. [Chairperson, I would like to thank the hon Mangethe.]
It has been reported by the Moral Regeneration Movement, MRM, that they are steadily making inroads into the social disintegration among the youth. To achieve this, the Moral Regeneration Movement engages young people in social dialogues that address various issues such as social integration and the role of families in moulding social values.
In order to gauge the true extent of the overall impact of the MRM programme, the Department of Arts and Culture has commissioned a formal evaluation. The outcomes of this review will enable us to share evidence- based details of the success of the MRM in this regard, including areas requiring improvement.
Having said this, I wish to remind all hon members that reversing the social disintegration of the youth is a collective responsibility which should never be outsourced solely to teachers, government or any other nongovernmental organisation. Disintegration begins at home and, therefore, reintegration should first happen there as well. We have a responsibility to nurture our children and guide them as they enter adulthood and make life-altering decisions. It all begins with you and me. I thank you.
