Sekela-Somlomo, umbutho wesizwe i-ANC uliqhwabela izandla ... [Deputy Speaker, the people's organisation, the ANC, applauds ...]
... sorry, Deputy Speaker, somebody just stood in front of me.
Ngulaa mntu weemoto. Umbutho wesizwe i-ANC uliqhwabela izandla iphulo labasebenzi beKomishoni yoNyulo eZimeleyo kwiphondo laseMpuma Koloni, lokundwendwela kwanokunikezela ngezinto kubantu abangathathi ntweni kwiveki ephelileyo, kwingingqi yaseMonti. Aba basebenzi beKomishoni yoNyulo eZimeleyo banikezele ngeengubo, ukutya kwakunye neempahla kubantu baseMonti abangenazo iindawo zokuhlala.
Eli phulo laqalwa ngabasebenzi bale komishoni kwixesha leminyaka emithandathu egqithileyo, kwiindawo ezahlukeneyo ezifana neengingqi zaseMonti, eMoltino, eMthatha naseQumrha, nabecandelo labantwana kwisibhedlele saseCecilia Makiwane eMonti. Eli phulo liqhutywa minyaka le ngabasebenzi ngemali abayidibanisayo ephuma kwiipokotho zabo. Kulo nyaka, bagqibe ekubeni bandwendwele yaye bolule isandla kwabo bahlala ezitalatweni eMonti.
I-ANC ilothulela umnqwazi eli phulo kuba iinkonzo ezisiwa ngurhulumente ebantwini ziya kukhawuleza xa abantu ngokwabo bethabatha inxaxheba. Enkosi. [Kwaqhwatywa.] (Translation of isiXhosa paragraphs follows.)
[It is that person connected to the story of cars. The people's organisation, the ANC, applauds the initiative taken by the employees of the Independent Electoral Commission in the Eastern Cape province of visiting and handing over goods to the people in the East London region. These employees handed out blankets, food and clothes to homeless people in East London.
This initiative was started six years ago by the employees of this commission in different areas such as East London, Molteno, Mthatha and Qumrha, as well as the paediatric ward of Cecilia Makiwane Hospital in East London. This is done annually by these employees and is funded by money from their own pockets. This year they have decided to visit and assist homeless people.
The ANC applauds this initiative because the rolling out of services by the government to the people will be accelerated if people participate. Thank you. [Applause.]]
