... Deputy Chairperson, South Africa right now has expanded unemployment rate of 38%, for women it is even higher sitting at 41,5%. Eighty per cent of all land in the country is in the hands of a small group of whites, and close to half of the population lives below the poverty line. We have a national housing waiting list close to four million.

... and in the last 25 years corruption and incompetence. Our people have no means to survive with dignity. The land that was once the basis of wealth was stolen and people cannot find work and jobs. Instead, they rely on the grant that the government provides. This is the consequence of the ANC's continued to embrace of neoliberal economics.
IsiZulu:
Ngqongqoshe sonke siyazi ukuthi kuyimanje cishe bonke abantu abalinganiselwa kusigidi esiyi-18 lapha eNingizimu Afrika bathembele kwisibonelelo sikahulumeni futhi usuku nosuku lezibalo ziyakhula.

We say the social grants must be doubled with the understanding that this is not a long-term solution to poverty. This can only be addressed in the long term through land and wealth redistribution, economic development and industrialisation. But in the meantime, our social grants cannot be so little that people barely survive on them. Where is the dignity of feeding yourself and feeding your child on R480 grant? The government can change this if it doubles social grant.
IsiZulu:
Imali ikhona uma nje ...
English:
... the correct economic policies are adopted in the long term and fewer people will need a social grant. Another issue that your department, more specifically the social grants office, needs to address is municipalities charging households who are receiving grants.
IsiZulu:
Ngqongqoshe akwenzi mqondo ophusile ukuthi lo hulumeni ukhokhisa laba bantu imali kagesi namanzi. Kanti kungani bathole izibonelelo zikahulume aphinde futhi uhulumeni athathe yona lemali encane abanikeza yona? Akudingi ukuthi uze ube nediploma ukuthi wazi ukuthi umuntu othola isibonelelo sikahulemeni akakwazi ukukhokhela ugesi namanzi.
English:
What also needs to be finalised is the migration of all beneficiaries to the Postbank. Currently, there are still too many social grant recipients who have not been moved over and this should not be taking so long. We also need to see your department migrate all social grant beneficiaries to the Postbank. Currently, 70% of all beneficiaries have still not been migrated.

Kuleminyaka eyedlule izibalo zamacala enkohlakalo eMnyangweni wakho alinganiselwa kwizi-20 000, lokho kucaca futhi kusobala ukuthi kunabantu abayizi-5 000 abangakwazi ukuthola izibonelelo zabo zikahulumeni.
English:
All those who lost out on their grants must immediately receive their back payments, and you must make an effort to stamp out corruption at the SA Social Security Agency, Sassa, Minister. We cannot have people losing out on the little they get from your department because you employ people who are incompetent and full of corruption.
