Ngithokoze Sihlalo. [Thank you, Chairperson.]
We really appreciate the progress that there has been in many of the areas that were declared Presidential Nodal Zones. During the NCOP programmes of Taking Parliament to the People and Provincial Week, young people, women and people with disabilities in particular made a passionate plea for specific programmes that would assist in empowering them to break the historical discord of generational poverty, which they endure on a daily basis.
I just want to check with His Excellency whether there are monitoring programmes in any form. If there are, do such monitoring programmes really look into the issues of the groups that I have mentioned: the youth, women and people with disabilities?
