It is with great respect that I stand here before you to bring honour and commemorate the 20th anniversary of the assassination of political activist and stalwart of the liberation struggle, Thembisile ‘Chris’ Hani - also the former General Secretary of the South African Communist Party and NEC member of the African National Congress (ANC). On this day I would like to dedicate my speech to a fallen hero who was described as a ‘selfless revolutionist’ who died for his political beliefs. Serious tensions followed after his assassination, with fears that the country would erupt into violence. Former President Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela addressed the nation appealing for a calm mood, I quote: “Tonight I am reaching out to every single South African, black and white, from the very depths of my being.

  • Budget Vote 2021/22
    BUDGET VOTE SPEECH BY THE MEC ROADS AND PUBLIC WORKS, MS. BFP MAKATONG (MPL), TO THE NORTHERN CAPE PROVINCIAL LEGISLATURE ON 15 JUNE 2021 Honourable Speaker Honourable Deputy Speaker Honourable Premier Honourable Members of the Provincial Executive Council Honourable Members of the Provincial Legislature Executive Mayors, Municipal Mayors and Councillors The Director-General Heads of Departments Ladies and gentlemen. INTRODUCTION Honourable Speaker, it is my distinct honour to address this house on this noble task of tabling the budget vote for the 2021/2022 financial year. This budget is tabled while the world is reeling from the fatal and devastating effects of COVID-19 and we are also in the month of the Youth, a dedicated date on our calendar that speaks to our shared heritage. Youth Month is a singular and most symbolic period in our psyche as a nation that signifies the depth of our people’s commitment in remembering the gallant fight waged by the Youth during the years of oppression and struggle against a regime that envisioned South Africa through the narrow lens of race differences. Therefore, the nationwide protest of young people that gave birth to the 1976 June 16 uprising was a culmination of decades of struggle against an inhumane system designed on the prescripts of separate development on the basis of race. We would therefore like to honour the sacrificed lives of those brave young souls who dared to challenge the brutal and murderous apartheid state machinery. 1 Honourable Speaker, this is also the year where we celebrate the life of Charlotte Maxeke, an activist, one of the first Black women graduates in South Africa and one of the first Black South Africans to fight for freedom from exploitative and social conditions of African women.

    ANNUAL REPORT FOR 2013/14 FINANCIAL YEAR - VOTE 25: DEPARTMENT OF POLICE PART B: PERFORMANCE INFORMATION SOUTH AFRICAN POLICE SERVICE 37 ANNUAL REPORT FOR 2013/14 FINANCIAL YEAR - VOTE 25: DEPARTMENT OF POLICE 1. AUDITOR GENERAL’S REPORT: PREDETERMINED OBJECTIVES Refer to page 276 to 280 of the Report of the Auditor-General, published as Part E: Financial Information. 2. OVERVIEW OF DEPARTMENTAL PERFORMANCE 2.1 Service Delivery AND Organisational ENVIRONMENT The SAPS has conceptualised “frontline service delivery” in the context of the Constitutional requirement as per Section 205, the Basic Values and Principles Governing Public Administration as per Section 195 of the Constitution; Outcome 12 of the Medium Term Strategic Framework: An efficient, effective and development-orientated public service: Service delivery focusing on quality and access; and the White Paper on Transforming Public Service Delivery. Furthermore, the Minister of Police had declared 2013/14 “the year of the frontline office”, which provided the catalyst for this conceptualisation. The Minister’s engagement with SAPS management prompted an analysis of service delivery in the context of the four dimensions identified as being fundamental to frontline service delivery, namely the individual as a SAPS employee; the physical touch points from which our services are provided; the quality of the service provided; and the extent to which we engage with and involve our communities in the provision of our policing service. The conceptualisation of frontline service delivery necessitated a clear understating of the primary interface between the SAPS and the beneficiaries of its services, the citizens of this country. The SAPS, like all government departments, comprises two fundamental types of frontline service delivery points, namely the front office and the back office.
