Chairperson, I would like to thank the hon Kenye and say that, during Welfare Month, we have been to four rural areas where there is poverty, but I think we should also tell good stories about these areas.
In Msinga, we visited the Ngubane family, where the eldest is 20 years old. They lost their mother, who was a single parent, in 2007. They receive a foster care grant. Zandile, who is the eldest of four, is saving R200 per child for her siblings' school education. She attended school up to Standard 3, but she has the capacity to think about her siblings. I think we should talk about those things.
The second issue relates to malnutrition. We are working together with the Department of Health to deal with the issue of malnutrition. The first area we visited was Mookgopong, and what we found there is that people do not have jobs, but they also do not know how to use their grants properly. We are going to be there for six months to try and help them to form co- operatives and to work so that they can survive.
What is also important is that a report has just been released that shows that the farming areas in the Western Cape are among the areas that have the problem of children not earning grants. We found out that farmers, firstly, do not allow their workers to go and apply for identity documents and, secondly, do not allow them to apply for the grant because then we would find out what kind of wages they pay their workers. Thank you very much. [Applause.]
