[Mr T A MASHAMAITE: Hon Chairperson, hon Minister and Deputy Minister, MECs from various provinces, thank you for giving me an opportunity to take part in the department's budget debate. Our party, the ANC, strongly recommends that we start by scrutinising the party documents as we start with the Budget Vote for the Department of Social Development.
The ANC, in its manifesto, stands firm against poverty and hunger. We do not agree on this issue - as the black nation we were not born to suffer. Our stance is that our document on social development encourages that social services must constitute reconstruction, development and empowerment for the women, the youth, the poor and the workers.
The discussions or debates that are now on are outcomes of the people's needs. We are grateful that there is an increase of budget for this department which will make it easy to render social grants to the people.
In his state of the nation address, hon President Zuma pointed out that there should be an increase in the Department of Social Development's budget since human life is crucial. We are happy that our President continued to encourage the government to extend the child support grant to children over the age of 14.
In the 52nd annual general meeting of the ANC in 2007 and other previous meetings, the decision was taken to prioritise child growth. There is no way that the nation and the government can fold their arms and not act on this matter, because hunger is a threat. Let us show patriotism by providing good service delivery to the people.
The child support grant is one of the issues that emanated from the 52nd national general council of the ANC in 2007. The idea is to eliminate or eradicate poverty among the black nation. We are very grateful that the departmental budget has been increased to meet that obligation. Our children are not supposed to keep quiet even when things fall apart.]
