M Modiselle: In-house departmental open day
Mr Programme Director, allow me to say that effective and efficient service delivery, consultation and constant interaction with stakeholders will however be fruitless in the absence of sound financial management and accountability, particularly in government departments and municipalities. Colleagues, we can manage financial risks in our various departments and ensure clean corporate governance if only all officers in the Public Service and municipalities can act in accordance with relevant ...

Z Dlungwana: International Day against Drug Abuse
It is in that spirit that the Provincial Government, and in particular, the Department of Social Development is calling people to partner in service delivery against alcohol and drug abuse. This attitude and the stigma associated with drug abuse and drug dependence hinders society from being proactive in meeting and treating the needs of drug abusers. Let us all make sure that we build a people's contract to eradicate drug abuse and drug dependence in the province. [highlighted result]

Mother and Albert John returned to South Africa, specifically to Groutville, where Albert John Luthuli was brought up by his uncle, Martin Luthuli, one of the founders of the ANC in KwaZulu-Natal.

In a 2004 study entitled 'Violence, Vengeance and Gender' Lisa Vetten and Kailash Bhana of the Centre for the Study of Violence and Reconciliation propose four hypotheses, linking HIV and AIDS and violence against women and girls. For these reasons younger women are at a higher risk of HIV transmission than are older women. The annual 16 Days of no violence against women and children campaign has gained much momentum and all government departments are expected to participate. [highlighted result]

N Madlala-Routledge: Launch of African Women for Peace magazine
I wish to particularly acknowledge the women of Rwanda and Burundi for the high representation of women in their parliaments. In South Africa we need to rekindle the spirit of women in united action for a women's charter and the gender machinery that has been constitutionally guaranteed. Perhaps we need to lobby the international criminal court as African women to set up a woman's court in Africa to specifically try crimes against women. [highlighted result]
