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.
