Deputy Speaker, the Department of Labour is facing the following challenges. The inspectorate has to be monitored properly; supervision has to be done in order to make sure that inspectors go everywhere where they need to go; and there should be communication between the employer and the employee on outstanding issues, especially where there are cases that are postponed by the employer at the expense of the employees.
There are good people in the department, but there are also those who do not care about their work. It is unacceptable that a person can return to the offices of the department more than three times, especially for CCMA cases, without getting proper results.
The service delivery of this department should be more orderly, and let's eliminate those people who are not suitable to do the job. Let's fire them. I am specifically referring to the UIF section where people are doing what they like. Those who are not prepared to work within this department should be replaced by people who care for other people, especially the unemployed. [Interjections.]
Ngeke ningizwe phela uma nibanga umsindo. [You won't hear me if you continue making a noise.]
Accountability, responsibility and enforcement of employees to account for every department and section that they lead should be key factors. Thank you.
Adv A de W ALBERTS: Weens die volgende kwessies, die strukturele diskriminasie teen blankes en informele diskriminasie teen bruinmense en Indirs by wyse van regstellende aksie, asook die diskriminerende orintasie van die departement se direkteur-generaal, mnr Jimmy Manyi, teenoor blankes en minderhede, en sy weiering om afstand te doen van sy posisie by die Black Management Forum waardeur hy die lede van di organisasie kan bevoordeel, vra ons dat mnr Manyi vervang word as direkteur- generaal en stem ons teen die begrotingpos. Dankie. (Translation of Afrikaans paragraph follows.)
[Adv A de W ALBERTS: As a result of the following issues, the structural discrimination against whites and informal discrimination against coloured and Indian people by means of affirmative action, as well as the discriminative orientation of the director-general of the department, Mr Jimmy Manyi, against whites and minorities and his refusal to vacate his position at the Black Management Forum through which he can benefit the members of that organisation, we request that Mr Manyi be replaced as director-general and we do not support the Budget Vote. Thank you.]
