Chairperson, I welcome what hon member Dambuza stated here, showing the heroic action by the youth of Umlazi building 76 houses, marking the heroic actions of the youth of 1976. The most important thing about these houses is that they were built closer to the places of work, in town, closer to schools, shopping centres and clinics. That is very heroic, showing that the ANC is concerned about the issue of human settlements, and human settlement is in action.
Kwakhona, ndibulela kakhulu kwilungu elihloniphekileyo uDunjwa ngokuthetha ngezindlu eziza kunikezelwa eChris Hani ngomhla wesi-3. Ubonakalisa kakuhle ukuba i-ANC, kule nyanga yoMqulu waMalungelo, izimisele ukunika abantu izindlu, ukhuseleko nobuntofontofo.
ISebe loHlaliso loLuntu eMpuma Koloni liqinisekisa ukuba ikamva labantu liqaqambile, ingakumbi abantu abahluphekileyo. Siyabulela kakhulu. [Kwaqhwatywa.] (Translation of isiXhosa paragraphs follows.)
[Once again, I thank the hon member Dunjwa so much for talking about the houses that are going to be handed over in the Chris Hani District Municipality on 3 July 2009. The hon member showed clearly that the ANC, in this month of the Freedom Charter, is prepared to provide people with houses, security and comfort.
The department of human settlements in the Eastern Cape ensures that people have a brighter future, particularly the poor. We thank you very much. [Applause.]]
