Ke a leboga [Legofsi.] (Translation of Sepedi paragraphs follows.)
[Mr T A MASHAMAITE: Thank you, hon Chairperson. I think I presented my facts clearly.
I am back to the statement made by the Chairperson about our oversight visit to Ga-Sekhukhune. The oversight visit is already bearing fruit because the people's concerns on service delivery are already being responded to. The programme of Taking Parliament to the People is very important. We have to enhance it so that it benefits the people in terms of service delivery.
The Chairperson indicated that there are other support programmes in place. We appreciate that, even though a report on those programmes has not yet been formally brought to the House.
It is true that Ga-Sekhukhune has been hard hit by poverty. The government, together with Parliament, have to intervene to reduce poverty in that area - this has already been said by other members. I would like to indicate that the total number of days allocated for the programme of Taking Parliament to the People is not enough for people to state all their concerns. We can maybe increase the number of days to five because we only met with the people from 23-26 March. I suggest that we look into this because people who are working will also be accommodated. We usually talk to the people during the day when the workers are at their respective workplaces.
This programme must be continued for the public to get a chance to voice their concerns with regard to service delivery in order to improve their lives. The Taking Parliament to the People programme enables the different government departments to meet and listen to people's concerns. I sometimes get disturbed when the government department indicates that there is no budget for something and therefore that very thing will not be done. We take Parliament to the people after budget allocations. Government departments have a tendency of using a lack of budget as an excuse for not delivering on services that are urgently needed by the people. This matter needs serious attention.
Lastly, we have to organise another oversight visit to Ga-Sekhukhune. I suggest that the House accepts this report so that we can use it to evaluate delivery by government departments.
Thank you. [Applause.]]
