Closing Remarks by the Deputy Minister of Social Development:
“The commemoration of this day comes at a time when most households in South Africa are experiencing the cost-of-living crisis and the widening gap between the rich and the poor. The Department of Social Development is at the forefront of Government efforts to address poverty, with particular focus on the most vulnerable.”
” Cofimvaba is home to the son of the soil who gave all of himself to the cause of freedom and justice—Chief Mshweshwe. I am pleased to be back here in Cofimvaba in to fulfil the promise which I made during the reburial of Chief Mshweshwe in August. I believe there is no better way of honouring his legacy than fighting poverty unemployment and inequality and improving the quality of the life of his people.”
Today, through this Integrated Community Registration Outreach Programme (ICROP) we have brought the services of the Department of Social Development and its public entities—the National Development Agency (NDA) and the South African Social Security Agency (SASSA). We have also brought the Departments of Health, Home Affairs and the South African Police Service (SAPS) to ensure that you all get services to alleviate poverty and hunger especially in rural areas such as Cofimvaba and surrounding villages.
We want to ensure that no one is left behind.
