The Matter Of Social Security

There Is A Very Long List Of Parties In This Year's Election, Some Of The Parties I Have Never Heard Of.

There Is A Section Of Our Population In South Africa That You Can't Expect To Get Integrated In The Economy Of Its Own. These Are People Without Skills And That Will Include Young People Who Might Very Well Have Matric Certificates, But Don't Have The Skills To Be Absorbed In The Economy. So We Need To Target People Like Those In A Special Way, In A Focused Way So That They Have The Skills And The Capacity To Participate In The Economy. That Requires Special Programmes.

None Dare Challenge Me When I Say I Am An Afrikan.

We Are Continuously Looking At The Question Of Increasing The Capacity Of Home Affairs And That Is Why Home Affairs Introduced Mobile Units, To Be Able To Reach People. The Matter Of The Establishment Of The Social Security Agency Was To Deal With The Matter Of The More Efficient Distribution Of These Grants, The Reductions In The Levels Of Corruption And Greater Sensitivity. You Are Dealing With Vulnerable People, Like The Elderly, Who You Needed To Find A Way Of Addressing, So That People Don't Have To Be Waiting In The Sun In The Queue, And So On.

Clearly, We Are Very, Very Concerned About The Situation, For Instance, That Has Been Going On In Gaza.
