Hon Speaker, on behalf of hon Mohale, who is not present at this time, I would like to indicate that she had no intention of posing a further question.
Hon Speaker and Minister, thank you for the information given, but it is well documented that persons with disabilities, especially those who have been living in impoverished environments, are known to be the poorest of the poor. So, economic development is of pivotal importance to them. What support mechanisms are you facilitating and co-ordinating across the NGO sector and with stakeholders who are contributing to the economic development of disabled persons, given the funding crisis faced by most of them? Thank you.
The MINISTER OF WOMEN, CHILDREN AND PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES: Hon Speaker, I think I have already answered the question asked by the hon member. I have explained that we are facilitating support through the IDC and the DTI, and we are also working with international donor organisations. We have met with the SA Disability Alliance, Sada, and Disabled People SA. We are working with them to come out with more projects that will assist them to create jobs and also set up their own small businesses. I thank you, hon Speaker.
