"The voices of young people in Parliament are essential for South Africa’s future. Political parties must go beyond symbolic representation and equip young MPs with the tools and mentorship they need to succeed,”"

"It would be dangerous to give them roles like Cabinet portfolios. Being in the National Assembly, it could be more like training to understand the challenges and how they are solved"

"The government has assigned the deputy prime minister to look into our state owned entities."

"Our young people are uninformed and know only what they’ve been exposed to, so we are already making it a priority to keep young people informed and provide the necessary skills and mentorship for every young person to participate in politics."

"It takes time and it doesn't happen over night. Staying consistent, passionate and motivated will keep you going after what you want no matter what."

"The level of success you desire is going to take some hard work, and some sleepless nights. It's up to you to determine how bad do you really want it?"

"I would say to be patient and don't give up so easily. Running a business is not a quick rich thing. It takes time, effort, money, positivity, and longevity. Entrepreneurship is not for the faint at heart. You may not see results right away, but I guarantee if you stay committed to your dreams your dreams will stay committed to you."

"I see so many people jump into entrepreneurship full time but they haven't prepared by saving money, making the right connections, or even investing in someone to help them get there."

"People who support you and want to see you win. After seeing transformation in my life, I knew I couldn't keep what I learned to myself. I had to share it with the world."

"My department is working with various other ministerial departments on joint ventures which will be beneficial for the tourism sector."

"I believe it takes strategy and being clear as to when is the right time to quit your job. It's hard enough being an entrepreneur, but I don't believe you should make it harder on yourself by having your lights and gas turned off because you have no money."

"I have officially resigned from Parliament, and I would like to thank the leadership of the PA. I look forward to growing the PA forever,”"

"And we believe in the same, and we should be calling it national core"

"What we did then was have a"

"This democracy run by this government which is a liberated country, but nothing has changed. The"

"even in the apartheid times, although there was segregation, there was all these laws that"

"The country is bedeviled with a lot of issues. And you know you have hardly been recovering from the one blast, or controversy, then you when you turn around, there is another volley"

"When I begin to shift my circle, and get around like minded women who were doing big things, it open my mindset to play at a bigger level. I absolutely love to empower women to live the life God created for them."

"I’m so passionate about helping women, because there were powerful women that help me get me to where I am. My life was completely changed for the better when I decided to invest in myself and hire a coach."

"There have been licences come up overseas, where they’ve been short term and the government wanted to retain control over lots of important elements, around what products you can have, whether you can change them and the retail network."

"Not doing your best and putting the utmost into it was not acceptable,"

"It’s having that full control over our destiny, our focus and not having to compete for capital. That allows us to prioritise what we think is important for our business in terms of capital, all our resources, operational expenditure, everything.”"

"My mum will tell stories of me hiding behind her skirt when we went up the road to visit her closest friend, whose daughter was my best friend."

"I’ve loved this industry for so long and am so passionate about it. People talk about lotteries as something that provides a lift in their day. [The lottery] gives people something to hope for and to look forward to."

"And I wouldn’t go into the convenience store. Mum would pull up outside and ask if I would run in and get a loaf of bread. I would say: ‘Oh no, I won’t go in.’ I was way too shy.”"

"We only have a few that we have lost, which is something that is bothering us as one death is one too many."

"We immediately went to the church, to make sure we covered (traced) each and every one who was part of the gathering. We screened everyone and tested those who needed testing. That following day, after some who attended (the church gathering) tested positive, we quarantined them. We also went as far as asking cell phone companies to assist us in checking (tracing) the movements of those who attended the church gathering and their contacts,"

"We’re confident that we should be able to deal with this. We have a situation where we have finite resources for infinite healthcare demands. Those are some factors contributing to the challenges we have,"

"There are others who would not only screen but also test and the results (would) come out negative, and then within 14 days when they test again, the results (will) come out positive. We’re dealing with something that is new. We’re still learning.”"

"We screened and tested them (contacts). We also went to the school where her children attended (and we) screened the teachers, learners as well as their families.”"

"We have seen that when people say they have self-quarantined, they still get out of their houses and move around. Sometimes they would move carelessly without the masks, so we make sure that you are (placed) where we can monitor you on a daily basis,”"

"As we build a viable provincial and municipal infrastructure for effective delivery of services to communities”, let us: “Count Her In. Invest in Women. Accelerate Progress."

"determination to flatten the curve and curb transmissions has been a combination of tracing contacts, screening and testing”"

"I think that is what we are doing exceptionally good. Once you test positive, we make sure we remove you from the community and quarantine you at places where we have provided beds for isolation"

"As this department, we can boast of having established a women in Human Settlements Task Team which comprises of women stakeholders within the human settlements value chain."

"we celebrate our absolute right to property enshrined in our constitution, we are mindful of the Palestinian people in the struggle for their right to live and prosper in the land of their birth. We commend our government and the people of South Africa for taking resolute action in support of the Palestinian cause."

"to improve efficiencies in responding to disasters, human settlements emergencies response has been centralised at the national department, including policy changes that emphasize use of alternative building technologies to respond to disasters in rural areas."

"We are deeply concerned about the deterioration of human settlements programmes in the Gauteng metros. Specifically, the City of Tshwane continues to underperform in human settlements grants. In the past three financial years, the City continued to forfeit unspent funds to the Revenue Fund."

"Pursuant to our desire for functional partnership, it is my humble appeal to our municipalities, who are often the coal face of service delivery, to effect sound management systems over housing subsidies management."

"When we restore the dignity of our people through human settlements, we do not only deliver a house, but quality houses with norms and standards to support the needs of the community including persons with disabilities. Moreover, we deliver human settlements with social amenities."

"integration relates to a multi-sectoral approach that is coordinated with all different sectors operating in concert so that results in one area are re-enforced by achievements in another"

"It is within our shoulders as leaders gathered here that the goals we have set ourselves as outlined in our manifesto will be apprehended if we could set aside our differences and work in unity as partners within our scope of mandates."

"The overcrowding in inner cities, dilapidated, neglected and hijacked buildings as well as continued spread of informal settlements are as a direct result of the stubbornness of the inhumane heritage of the apartheid- era spatial planning."

"For we are gathered within these four wall with the voice of reason, the voice of providing our community with decent settlement devoid of racial and class patterns, in fact the voice of humanity."

"We are to settle our people so that they experience decent housing as against the past human settlements patterns where the question of race, class and gender was the order of the day."

"These are but not limited to; unblocking of blocked projects, upgrading of informal settlements, eradication of asbestos roofing and mud-houses, and finally the social housing programmes that are aimed at transforming the inner cities and locating our communities closer to economic opportunities."

"It provides for mechanisms and procedures to facilitate the settlements of intergovernmental disputes and it also provides for matters connected there with."

"Establishing a development bank is not a small endeavour which is why the leaders at the previous summit requested the ministers of finance to thoroughly investigate all the aspects around the possibility of forming such an institution."

"Its aim is to provide additional and also niche financing where it is not available or forthcoming, notably for emerging markets and developing economies in sectors critical for attaining their developmental goals."

"It is a work in progress as there are still many issues with respect to such a bank to sort out. One can expect further discussions and negotiations going forward."
