[Mr X MABASA (ANC): Hon Speaker, our elderly stalwart Andrew Mlangeni, who is himself not only an elder but also falling in the golden age category, is well aware of the pain that winter unleashes onto elderly men and women.
In Dube, Orlando East, White City, Molapo, Mofolo and Moroka blankets were distributed to the elderly. Wrapped in blankets, the elderly walked home singing and ululating in praise of Mr Mlangeni.
Mr Mlangeni remains grateful to the business people who responded positively when he asked them to join him in contributing towards that noble objective. I am speaking on behalf of Mr Mlangeni and the community of the aged.
Businesses that look after the fragile and the elderly is indeed contributing to the reconstruction and development of South Africans.
Viva stalwart Mlangeni. Viva! [Applause.]]
