THE MINISTER OF SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT: Hon House Chairperson, I firstly would like to thank the member of the ACDP who reminded us that one of the biggest challenges we have in South Africa is about us pointing fingers to each other when we are supposed to deal with a very serious matter. The issue of violence against women and children is not a matter to politicise about; it is a matter for us to make commitment across party political lines. It is a matter that we need to be able to commit house to house, street to street, and family to family, in order for us to be able to deal with it.
