Ngiyabonga, Mhlali ngaphambili. [Thank you, Chairperson.] Phase one of the registration process only started on 1 March 2012. The first phase is to register new people on Cash Paymaster Services, CPS, and they are supposed to bring their IDs and Sekunjalo cards.
Secondly, not all the provinces are affected by the reregistration. For instance, the North West, the Northern Cape, KwaZulu-Natal, part of the Western Cape and Limpopo are not affected. The provinces that are most affected are parts of the Eastern Cape, Gauteng, parts of the Western Cape, the Free State and Mpumalanga.
Lastly, we are on all the local radio stations, outlining the process of reregistration. We will also use local newspapers and we will be at pay points to check that everything happens according to plan. The work will continue. Phase two will start in April, and phase three will start in June.
With regard to ill treatment, the SA Social Security Agency, Sassa, takes its service to its beneficiaries seriously and does not condone, in any way, the ill treatment of beneficiaries. Each Sassa region is empowered with a fully functional customer care unit, whose main focus is customer relations and upholding the Batho Pele values. Sassa has developed a customer care charter, which informs the public about the standard of services that can be expected from Sassa. Hon member, if there are problems at some pay points, please bring the information to us so that we can follow up.
Sengigcina, bazoba khona-ke nalabo abangafuni ukuthi kulungiswe, ngoba bengafuni ukuthi kuphele inkohlakalo. Sinabo shaqa. Sizosebenza sibhalise kabusha abantu ukuze sikwazi ukukhokhela abantu okufanele bakhokhelwe abaphilayo. Baningi abantu abangaphili abakhokhelwa u-Sassa.
Ngakho-ke sizowenza lo msebenzi wokulungisa ukuze kuphele inkohlakalo lapho kukhokhelwa khona imali yempesheli. Ngiyabonga. [Ihlombe.] (Translation of isiZulu paragraphs follows.)
[In conclusion, there will be those who do not want us to deal with corruption because they don't want corruption to be eradicated. Woe unto them. We will do our work and reregister people so that we can pay the rightful beneficiaries who are alive. Sassa has paid many people whom we have since discovered are deceased.
Therefore, we are going to deal with corruption so that it can come to an end at the pension pay points. Thank you. [Applause.]]
