POSITIVE SOLUTIONS CWP ( COMMUNITY WORK PROGRAMME ) @KASIBCNEWS 

The African National Congress (ANC) notes the government’s decision to terminate the contracts of Community Work Programme (CWP) participants aged 55 and older by 31 January 2025. While this decision forms part of efforts to reimagine the programme in alignment with the priorities of the 7th Administration, the ANC recognizes the potential socio-economic challenges it may create for those affected. 

The CWP has long been a cornerstone of government’s efforts to address unemployment and poverty by providing a vital safety net for unemployed South Africans of working age. It has offered a bridge to opportunity, enabling participants to sustain their livelihoods while actively seeking permanent employment. 

The ANC emphasizes the importance of ensuring that no beneficiary is left without meaningful support during this transition. The party welcomes government’s commitment to reimagine and enhance the programme but stresses the need for a solution that safeguards the livelihoods of current participants, particularly those aged 55 and older. 

The government should find a solution that will not disadvantage over 65000 beneficiaries of the programme. The ANC is encouraged by government’s willingness to engage further with stakeholders and communities to develop sustainable solutions. This reimagination process must prioritize efforts to reduce poverty, unemployment, and inequality, ensuring that the CWP remains an effective instrument for socio-economic upliftment. 

The ANC calls for a strengthened approach to the programme that aligns with emerging economic sectors while maintaining its critical focus on community development. We urge the government to explore reskilling and upskilling opportunities for affected participants, providing them with access to alternative avenues for economic inclusion. 

The ANC remains unwavering in its commitment to initiatives that uplift communities and protect the most vulnerable. 

We urge all stakeholders to continue working together to ensure that the CWP continues to serve as a beacon of empowerment and hope for millions of South Africans.

CAPE TOWN INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT @KASIBCNEWS Please see attached soundbites in English and Afrikaans by Dr Chris Hunsinger MP @KASIBCAUDIO  The DA will request an urgent Parliamentary Portfolio Committee hearing on the ongoing and growing breakdowns of service at South Africa’s major airports. Minister Creecy and the senior management of ACSA must be called to report to committee on the scope of the brewing crisis, and their plans to address it. It is unacceptable that flights are being grounded at South African airports due to failures by entities within the Department of Transport. It simply cannot continue. This week, flights were delayed and diverted at Cape Town International Airport due to a fuel pump failure under the management of Airports Company South Africa (ACSA). Earlier this month, alarming reports revealed that ACSA has fuel supply at OR Tambo International Airport only until the end of January 2025, raising grave concerns about operational stability in February.

SANDF SOLDIERS GUNNED DOWN IN DRC @KASIBCNEWS   Today’s Joint Portfolio Committee meeting on Defence was a crucial moment for the government to be held accountable for the ongoing crisis in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), where our troops are once again caught in the crossfire of a foreign conflict. The meeting saw MPs from the DA push the Minister of Defence and Military Veterans, Angie Motshekga, and the chiefs of the defence force for clarity on key questions. The DA’s MPs demanded to know where the advice for the SANDF deployment came from, who gave that advice, and what oversight measures were in place to ensure the safety and readiness of our troops. Additionally, they asked where the counterintelligence operations were, given the precise coordination and mortar fire of M23 rebels—indicating that the attack was meticulously planned over a number of weeks. Instead of providing the answers South Africans deserve, the Minister and President continue to stonewall and...
