The EPWP is making a real difference in the people's lives. The EPWP and its achievement from the 2011-12 financial year, meant that more than 2 million work opportunities have been created since the start of the second phase. This achievement positions the EPWP as one of the key catalysts in the ANC-led government's job creation drive. The programme created a lot of job opportunities in the 2011-12 financial year. I can indicate that 66 were under the Community Work Programme, and the jobs that were created were not only temporary jobs, but also full-time jobs. The use of local labour in housing and infrastructure development contributed significantly to job creation and skills development.
