L Sisulu: Intelligence Services Budget Vote 2001/2002, NA
For us in the Intelligence Services, this revolution coincides with a natural hiatus where, at all levels, we have a new management at the helm that has brought new ideas to the Services. The past six years were utilised by my predecessor, the former Minister for Intelligence Services, to carve out a new dispensation for intelligence that has a mandate determined by the constitution; a dispensation that united the myriad of services into one; a dispensation that respected human rights and a ...

Gillwald: Justice and Constitutional Development Budget Vote 2001/2002, NA
In this regard the Legal Aid Board's delivery of sixty justice centres within a three-year time frame will have a profound effect on access to justice. Two weeks ago I opened a joint Legal Aid Board and Justice College workshop aimed at developing the skills of Justice Centre officials working with children who are in trouble with the law. In another example of improved service delivery the Phuthaditjhaba Justice Centre, after just 30 days in operation, has taken on over 300 cases. [highlighted result]

J Zuma: Presidency Budget Vote 2001/2002, NA
Our Constitution provides for the accountability of the Executive to Parliament and the need for parliamentary oversight over the Executive. Madam Speaker, as Leader of Government Business, one of my responsibilities is to ensure that legislation arrives from the executive in a co-ordinated manner. Madam Speaker, this principle and commitment to reconciliation is still a common thread that guides our task of building a new nation. [highlighted result]

Erwin: Trade and Industry Budget Vote 2001/2002, NA
The integrated industrial strategy must not be read in isolation from the DTI's international economic strategy - which you will find in Sizebenza Sonke, DTI's new policy journal, included in your packs. This brings into DTI's ambit assets to the value of R25bn to be managed in support of DTI's objectives. A greater capacity for co-ordination has been developed in DTI through the establishment of an Executive Management Unit that provides institutional and policy co-ordination to the ...

The crucial role of this House's newly established Joint Monitoring Committee on the Quality of Life and Status of People with Disabilities, Children and Youth should be commended. Government will adopt a National Youth Policy Framework to guide all government interventions on youth development later this year. My thanks and appreciation go to the JMC on the Status and Quality of Life of Women and the JMC on the Status and Quality of Life of Children, Youth and People with Disabilities. [highlighted result]

Mbeki: Response to debate on Presidency Budget Vote 2001/2002, NA
The burden of these statements is that we should not discuss racism because to discuss racism is both racist and foments racism. Observations were made that even as the international community seeks to address the issue of racism, this should not take place in our country, as will happen when the UN World Conference on Racism convenes in Durban two months from now. Because this is a legacy of racist policies, we cannot and must not avoid discussion of racism, precisely to ensure that we end ... [highlighted result]

Tshwete: Safety and Security Budget Vote 2001/2002,NCOP
That there is a serious crime problem in this country has never been contested by anyone in Government, least of all in the entire criminal justice system. What is contested, however, is the notion paraded all over in the media that South Africa is sliding into a hopeless situation of lawlessness which has overwhelmed the entire spectrum of law-enforcement agencies, particularly the Police. Proof of that, in very simple terms, is the fact that the prisons of this country and police holding ... [highlighted result]

Stats SA's quest for providing a broad range of sustainable quality statistics is underpinned by the need and justification for creating a National Statistics System (NSS). Developing the statistics system and enhancing the quality of statistics not only provides delivery of better statistical services, but also allows government departments to plan and monitor the inputs and outputs of their own service delivery. The main areas of product output are economic statistics, population statistics... [highlighted result]

Accordingly, we must succeed within our own borders to bridge the structural gaps that exist between developed South Africa and under-developed South Africa, ending the poverty and underdevelopment typical of the countries of the South. What we do must also succeed to bridge the structural gaps that exist between South Africa as a country of the South and the countries of the North.

When introducing the Correctional Services' debate in the National Assembly two weeks ago, I stated that my department was stepping up its campaign to put rehabilitation at the centre of all its activities. After successfully piloting Unit Management in Malmesbury Prison in 1997, we decided that all new prison designs would conform to Unit Management principles. The National Council on Correctional Services and the Portfolio Committee on Correctional Services have supported this initiative. [highlighted result]

Our provincial health departments vary in the extent to which they experience serious shortages of health professionals. The outflow of health professionals to the private sector probably represents a greater drain on public health services than foreign migration does. Finally, my thanks go to those whose daily and unremitting task is the improvement of our health system -- the thousands of health professionals, health support staff and health service managers across the country.

The cutting edge in the Government's overall strategy to bring down the levels of crime in our country is the South African Police Service. The establishment of these services will have a definite and serious impact on the statutory mandate, and eventually the functioning and financial resources of the ICD. I say this because in terms of the Regulations for Municipal Police Services, issued in terms of the South African Police Service Act, the ICD has the same civilian oversight duties and ...
