The MEC for Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs, Mr Norman Mokoena and the MEC for Human Settlements, Mr Madala Masuku have visited the Dipaleseng local municipality. The MECs were accompanied by the Executive Mayor of Gert Sibande district municipality, Councillor Andries Gamede and the Executive Mayor of Dipaleseng, Councillor Lefty Tsotetsi.
I therefore believe coming to this house for the presentation and adoption of the Correctional Services Amendment Bill just affirms that strong believe and commitment to the centrality of provincial and local governments in over all government's programme of action.
The absence of choice in determining our ultimate fate in life makes us fear the reality of confronting the end of life with the naked eye. Siyabulela was a great colleague, comrade and hero who sacrificed many choices he had in life, including his life, so that he could actively fight for the liberation of this country. The choice of sacrificing your own life for the freedom of other people provides us with deep insight into the quality and calibre of the person Siyabulela was.
