Chairperson of the NCOP and your Deputy, Deputy Minister of Finance, hon MECs and members of the House, I salute you.
Tshiven?a tshi ri ?wana o thomaho u mela ma?o a n?ha, ndi shenga. Muvhuso wo vha wo fanela u zwi ?ivha zwauri musi Cope yo swika, ho bebwa ?wana wa shenga ane ha nga vhuyi na ?uvha na ?ithihi a humela murahu. Zwe ra zwi thoma ro zwi thoma nahone ri ?o isa phan?a. (Translation of Tshiven?a paragraph follows.)
[In Tshiven?a they say a child who cuts teeth on the upper jaw first is considered abnormal. The government should have known that the formation of Cope was like the birth of a child who cuts teeth on the upper jaw first - something unusual and there is no turning back. What we have started we started, and we will continue.]
The aim of the Division of Revenue Bill is to provide for the equitable division of revenue raised nationally among the national, provincial and local government spheres of government for the 2010-11 financial year.
Hambi loko hi pfumelelana na Bili leyi kuna leswi landzelaka. Loko hi vulavula hi Mpimanyeto wa Timali xana mfumo wu endla yini hi mali leyi ngo boheleriwa enengeni wa mpfuvu yi famba? Loko mi kamba leswaku i timasipala tingani ti nga nghenisiwa eka section 139 nhlamulo swi vula mali leyi nga famba. Sweswi hi pfumelela Nkavelo wa Timali lowu nga mpimanyeto wun'wana. Hi ya nyika masipala leswaku yi ya yi famba yi lova.
Hikwalaho loko hina va Cope hi ri kona hi lava ku vona leswaku swilo swi famba kahle. Hi ndlela leyi a hi mi chavisi. (Translation of Xitsonga paragraphs follows.)
[Although we agree with this Bill there is this: When we talk about the Budget, what does the government do with the money that is being wasted? When you check how many municipalities are included in section 139, the answer is the amount of money that is wasted. Now we support the Budget Vote, which is another budget on its own. We will give it to the municipality so that it can be wasted.
Therefore we, as Cope, are here to ensure that things go on smoothly. In this way we are not threatening you.]
During the public hearing, Treasury indicated that there were some gaps as far as the formula was concerned and that they were going to review it.
Xi nga vi xitshembiso ntsena. Yi fanele yi langutisisiwa hi vona leswaku ndzandzeriso lowu loko Financial and Fiscal Commission, FFC yi wu tirhisa yi kuma leswaku hi wona mpimanyeto lowu nga ta averiwa mfumo wa le xikarhi, swifundzhankulu na mimfumo ya miganga leswaku mfumo wu kota ku tirha.
Tolo nimadyambu ndzi twe Mutshamaxitulu wa NCOP eka mbulavulo wa yena. Loko ndzi swi vula eka lembeximali leri nga hundza a mi pfumelanga. Mi lo hleka. Sweswi ndza tsaka hikuva a mi hleki. I vule swin'wana mayelana na migodi leyi nga tala laha ka Sekhukhune. (Translation of Xitsonga paragraphs follows.)
[It must not be a promise only. It must be reviewed to ensure that, as a follow up, when the Financial and Fiscal Commission, FFC, implements it, it must find that it is the correct Budget that will be allocated to the national, provincial and local spheres of government so that the government can function.
Yesterday evening, I heard the Chairperson of the NCOP's speech. When I said it in the previous financial year, you did not believe it. You laughed it off. I am happy now because you are not laughing. He said something concerning the many mines in Sekhukhune.] I can see that there is light inside the Chairperson of the NCOP. He told us that we should wake up and do something.
Ndzi vulavule hi swihlerisisi swa nsuku na swin'wana. A mi kalanga mi pfumela. I swi vurile leswaku ku fanele ku endleka xin'wana na xin'wana leswaku ku va na swihlerisisi. Sekhukhune yi na 31 wa migodi kambe a ku endleki nchumu. Mfumo a wu pfuneti nchumu.
A ndzi ri eBurgersfort Clinic. Loko u ya lahaya swilo swi hlangahlangene, swi hlangahlangene. (Translation of Xitsonga paragraphs follows.)
[I spoke about gold refineries and others. You did not believe me. He said that anything, something, must be done so that there could be refineries. Sekhukhune has 31 mines, but there is nothing happening. The government does not provide any assistance.
I was at Burgersfort Clinic. When you go there things are mixed up, really mixed up.]
I would like to tell the government - ruling party - to take a step. I said we support the Bill. Therefore, you should start working. Thank you.
