Therefore, this initiative makes it even more important that the City administers the scheme properly and ensures the right people get the assistance they need. Together, we will make more opportunities available to the largest number of people and get our youth to escape poverty. You can read the full statement here. The City of Tshwane recently decided to embark on a recruitment drive to fill permanent posts, which will vary from entry level positions A-level through semi-skilled positions B-level up to administrative support and skilled level positions C-level.
This is the first time in six years since years that the City will fill front-line artisanal vacancies, and demonstrates that it is committed to its promise of creating work opportunities for the people of Tshwane. Notices will also be posted at the following customer care centres in all seven regions:.

The City calls on all suitably qualified persons to apply by submitting a complete CV to any of the above mentioned regional offices; and all applicants will be issued with an acknowledgement of receipt to serve as proof of their application. To date, at least 2 people were enrolled on the COSUP programme and more than 12 follow-up visits were conducted for intensive interventions. It is estimated that the City has reached more than 40 people through outreach and education.
We know that so many substance abusers are bright young people, with massive potential, and we need to show them the way to provide positive contributions to the economy and development of our City. A new site will be opened shortly in Olievenhoutbosch. Callers in need of support are contacted and served by Social Workers who follow up on calls and ensure that the needs of callers are properly dealt with.
Should the research provide positive results, the City will make use of the EPWP programme to assist more substance users with employment. The energy is incredible. The atmosphere is electric. The determination is clear for all to see. It is time for a new beginning in Gauteng — time for a new beginning in South Africa!
Ha e duma eyatsamaya! Democrats, last week was a significant week for the DA as we celebrated the hundredth birthday of Helen Suzman. As an anti-Apartheid activist, a human rights activist, a former Member of Parliament from Gauteng and a founding member of the Progressive Party, she made a towering contribution to both our country and our party.
We stand on her immense shoulders today as we take forward the fight for a better future for all in South Africa. Her legacy lives on in all of us.

Let us never lose sight of her ethos of relentlessly focusing on what is right and never giving up, no matter how tough or lonely the crusade for freedom may become. But the most important lesson we must learn from Helen Suzman is what it means to be a public servant.
For her, being a Member of Parliament meant one thing only: the chance to speak up for those whose voices could not be heard. She saw her job as speaking up for those who were vulnerable and oppressed. She said: I am free but you are not, and so I will fight for your freedom. And this is what we must take from her example. The vibrant diversity and the sheer size of the movement for change she started to build.
Your hard work helped us win an increased outright majority in Midvaal. You helped us form a government in the City of Johannesburg and become the biggest party in the City of Tshwane. On their own, each of these achievements is remarkable. But together, they represent something really significant for this province. Thanks to your hard work we now have the inside lane here in Gauteng. Mrs Suzman would be heartened by the progress we have made as a party, compared to those early days when she was the only voice in Parliament speaking out against the injustice of Apartheid.
We have come a long, long way since then. She would have been encouraged by the state of the DA, but I know she would also be saddened by the state of our nation. She would be dismayed at the sheer hopelessness faced by so many South Africans who still struggle to get by with no money and no work.
And she would be angered by the scale of the theft and waste in government while so many people suffer. The South Africa of today — where more than half our people live in poverty and over 9. We have a nation of two halves. Those who have and those who have not. Those who enjoy the benefits of freedom and those who do not.

A nation of rural and urban; a nation of black and white These divisions have skewed our nation for decades. When we describe a new beginning, it is the freeing of South Africa from these profound divisions of race, class, gender. Democrats, we are often angry about corruption and state capture, but we must be just as angered by the living conditions of our fellow South Africans.
It cannot be business as usual when desperate mothers have to boil weeds to feed their children, or scavenge on rubbish dumps for scraps of food. We must be angry when 4 children die every day because of malnutrition. It cannot be business as usual when thousands of children go to school hungry every day, and then leave school having been taught nothing all day.
It cannot be business as usual when the relief offered by 17 million social grants — the only thing that shields millions from hunger — is threatened by rank incompetence. It cannot be business as usual when it is this provincial government is directly responsible for the deaths of psychiatric patients, or 34 striking mine workers. It cannot be business as usual when the red carpet is rolled out for those who have come to plunder our country while ordinary South Africans are left to fend for themselves.
We need change. When our country left the brutality of Apartheid behind and took its first steps as a democracy, South Africans were promised a better life. They were promised a chance to take control of their own lives through quality education, through access to economic opportunities, through ownership of property. They were promised economic freedom and independence. But for millions of our people, this promise never materialised. Yes, many communities have been uplifted in the past two decades. Many more people have homes and electricity and water.
Not by a long shot. Make no mistake, I am grateful for our freedom, and I know you are too. It would seem our divided and our worlds are drifting apart. We were promised so much more, and there could have been so much more. But instead, we are heading in the wrong direction. Over 30 million South Africans now live below what is known as the upper poverty line.
One in seven South Africans face extreme food poverty. And the reason the situation is getting worse is because our economy is paralysed. We have no growth. How can an organisation focused on the past be trusted to build a new future? We must focus on building our economy. If Eskom defaults on its spiralling debt and the captured Malusi Gigaba is forced to bail them out, it will certainly mean a further downgrade. And while we all feel the pinch, it is the most vulnerable in our society who are hit the hardest.
Life for poor, black South Africans is getting tougher by the day. The face of poverty in our country is still largely black. These people are not poor because they are black.

They are poor because Apartheid deliberately kept them away from opportunities and deliberately under-educated them. Today they remain poor because a corrupt system, designed to look after the elite at the expense of the poor, keeps them in poverty. Corruption is the new oppression. This system pockets enormous amounts of tax money that was meant to be spent on the people. This system cannot produce jobs because all investment is killed off where corruption is allowed to flourish. This system is kept alive by shielding the dishonest and the criminals from the law.
Poor people are left feeling powerless while the fat cats get away with it. South Africa needs a new beginning that will remove this corrupt system completely. I want to repeat that here today, because it has never been more true. The DA is not a party of nationalists. We believe that this diversity brings more ideas to the table. We must elect a leadership that must and will focus on a future for all South Africans. We challenge each other and we learn from each other.
