P a g e 7 ZF MGCAWU DISTRICT TODAY IN HISTORY 28 JUNE 2002 Cosatu and TAC table a National HIV/AIDS plan On 28 June 2002 the Congress of South African Trade Unions (Cosatu) and the Treatment Action Campaign (TAC) tabled a national HIV/AIDS treatment plan in the National Economic, Development and Labour Council (Nedlac). This was intended to allow Cosatu to declare a dispute with government and business should there be no agreement reached in Nedlac on the implementa- tion of the treatment plan. A key aspect of the plan involved making antiretroviral drugs available in the public health sector for those with HIV. Both Cosatu and TAC emphasised that, although the drugs were expensive, the social and economic costs to South Africa, of not providing the drugs, were far higher. Zwelinzima Vavi, General Secretary of Cosatu believed that government was in a position to produce generic antiretroviral drugs for the whole of Africa. He criti- cised them for spending billions on an arms deal while its citizens are dying from HIV/AIDS in tens of thousands. According to Cosatu, to increase generic produc- tion would reduce costs, stimulate the local pharmaceutical industry and provide jobs. In contradistinction to the government's strategy of denial of home-based care to HIV/Aids sufferers, Cosatu and TAC said their plan was aimed at keeping millions alive for longer. I s s u e 2 P a g e 8 D.K.M MAYOR ADDRESSED THE M A S S E S The Mayor of the Dawid Kruiper Municipality, Cllr Micheal Segede, addressed the concerns of the residents of ward 8 in Paballelo on Wednesday, 19 June 2019. Paballelo is the home of the Upington 26 political stalwarts. The meeting was a follow-up meeting that the Mayor had with the residents in the previous week. The area was very volatile and the Mayor went to the community amidst the burning of tyres and concerns over his safety. The Mayor assured the residents that the electricity project of ward 8 would re- sume from 1 July 2019. There was loud applause during this announcement. The Mayor also promised the residents that the buckets will be emptied on a regular basis.

    1 | P a g e Keynote Address- MEC Mac Jack Handing over of Edukite Hard-and Software Northern Cape High School Friday, 2 August 2019 Senior Management of the Department of Education; Educators present; Distinguished guest; Ladies and Gentleman; Members of the media It gives me great pleasure to officiate this auspicious occasion which will equip educators with 21st century technology as we prepare learners for the 4th industrial revolution. The premise of our input this afternoon is a question that revolves around the 4th industrial revolution. “What do steam, science and digital technology have in common?” These are the first 3 industrial revolutions that transformed our modern society. 1 | P a g e 2 | P a g e With each of these advancements the steam engine, the age of science, mass production and the rise of digital technology fundamentally changed the world around us. And right now, it’s happening again, for a fourth time. Each of these first 3 industrial revolutions represented profound change. We are talking major societal transformation. So where are we now? Well at this moment, many of the technologies people dreamed off in the 1950’s and 1960’s have become a reality. Maybe we don’t have flying cars yet, but we have robots, plus there’s genetic sequencing and editing, artificial intelligence, miniaturized sensors and 3D printing too mention a few. And when you put all these technologies together, well, let just say the innovations are unexpected and surprising. This is the beginning of the next great industrial revolution, the 4th industrial revolution.

  • MEC Mac Jack State of the Province (SOPA) Debate
    SOPA Debate MEC Mac Jack Northern Cape Provincial Legislature Tuesday, 9 July 2019 _____________________________________________ Speaker and Deputy Speaker of the Provincial Legislature; Premier Dr. Zamani Saul; Members of the Executive Council; Members from the Northern Cape Provincial Legislature; Traditional Leaders; Director General, Heads of Department and Leaders of Public Service; Political parties present; Members of the media; As we enter a new era of hope to further improve the basic living conditions and lives of all our people, we draw inspiration, courage and determination from a rastafarian of note, Jimmy Cliff, who once sang a song, “Remake the World”, and I quote: 1 | P a g e “Too many people are suffering, Too many people are sad, Too little people, got everything, While too many people got nothing”. As I thought about that song, we need to mobilise the Northern Cape community behind the vision of a Modern, Growing and Successful Northern Cape Province. Over the past 25 years of democracy, concerted efforts were made to address the triple challenges of poverty, unemployment and inequality in the Province. Today, we look back full of pride because of what the ANC, its allies and the people of this country have achieved. Although much has been achieved, we could have moved faster and the quality of services could have been much better. Many of our people are still longing for their own home, a decent work opportunity, good health services, quality public education system, safer communities and many more. 2 | P a g e The Freedom Charter remains our inspiration and our strategic guide to realising a better life and a South Africa that truly belongs to all who live in it.

I table this Vote Speech during an important epoch in our country’s calendar when we commemorate the Youth Month in a year dedicated to one great daughter of the soil, Mama Charlotte Maxeke who so gallantly spearheaded the struggle for women's emancipation towards the realization of a better life for all. She understood that human life has equal worth, and that this is the core value that unites us, her selfless deeds compels us to ask whether we have done enough to give practical effect to woman emancipation in South Africa today towards our shared humanity. Honourable Speaker, this invites us to ponder as to whether we have acted in a manner that shows human life has equal worth through the allocation of state resources at our disposal. Honourable Speaker, as Provincial Treasury, we have put forward a plan in the 2021/22 financial year that will allow us to consolidate and strengthen our capacity especially around interventions aimed at assisting our municipalities to start doing the basic things right.
