Mandizibulisele ngegama elihle lika Yesu Krestu. Kumkani mandilibulele eliwonga lokuba ndime phambi kwale nginginya, zisise iinkonzo ezibaluleke kangaka eluntwini. Kaloku thina singu Rhulumente osigcinayo isithembiso, sizokuthi kuni bantu base Nqadu: URhulumente wenu enithe gqolo ukumvothela uzise iinkonzo kuni. Akukho mntu uzakuhambe ekhangela iinkonzo.
Ngolwesithathu umhla we 10 ka April, sisizwe besikhumbula ukuwa kwegorha lenkululeko u Chris Hani. UTshonyane kaloku wafela edabini, esilwela ubomi obungcono. It is befitting to celebrate his legacy by ensuring that services are delivered to rural communities like here in Nqandu. Uthi umongameli Zuma xa ethetha ngo Chris Hani. President Zuma rightfully said “South Africa indeed owes the late Comrade Chris Hani a debt of gratitude for what he did during the struggle.
We must therefore continue to honour his memory by developing a better life for all – for this is what he selflessly believed in.” Siyakhahlela ku Tshonyane and sithi we know that his spirit will nourish the development of our people. Kwakhona kulenyanga sibhiyozela unyaka we 19 sayifumanayo inkululeko.
Lonto ithi le, yinyanga yenkululeko. Kubalulekile ke ukuba izizukulwana ezizayo ziyazi imbali yethu, ukuze ziyazi imigudu namageduka esaphumela kuwo ukuze siyifumane lenkululeko. Ladies and Gentlemen, in case we forget that it is because of heroes and heroines such as Comrade Chris Hani that today we enjoy this priceless heritage; living in a great country under a democratic government led by the ANC.
Namhlanje bantu base Nqadu, sivula i Post Office, ne Centre yolwazi nonxibelelwano (ICT Access Centre). Olu ke luphaku lwesibane senkululeko nophuhliso kwisizwe sethu. Mbexeshi nkqubo, mandithathe elithuba and acknowledge the hard work of King Zwelonke Sigcau kwimizamo yakhe yokusebenza no rhulumente ekuphuhliseni isizwe sakhe. Kumkani sifuna iinkokheli zemveli ezi development and people oriented ukuze iinkonzo ziye ebantwini. Ndiyafuna kwakhona ukukhahlela kwakhona kongasekhoyo u Kumkani u Xolilizwe ngegalelo lakhe ekwakhiweni kwala post office.
Our government under the leadership of President Jacob Zuma has prioritised infrastructure development to eliminate service backlogs in under-serviced areas, especially in the rural areas, in order to meet our people's basic needs. We take the view that development is about taking services such Information and Communications Technologies (ICTs) to where previously disadvantage people live.
Amagosa akwa Department of Communications nee entities zethu anentsuku elapha e Nqadu. Ebebambe iintlanganiso, bencokola nabahlali nge services that we offer as a department and entities.
Program Director, mandiyicacise ukuba i DOC inee entities zayo eziqinisekisa unxibelelwano and the Post Office is one of them. Njengoko benivile ngala magosa iiservices ezilapha, ndifuna nje ukongeza ukuba sizakusebenzisa i Post Office uku deliver ii Set Top Boxes ebantwini who qualify for subsidy in terms of BDM Scheme of Ownership. This is in line with the Post Office slogan “We deliver whatever it takes.”
Xa sithetha nge socio-economic development sithetha ngogcino lwemali, ukwenza isicelo semali mboleko including the ability to save excess income. Sithi ke boo mama kufuneka sisebenzise le post office ukugcina imali.
Government is promoting the growth of culture of savings among all South Africans, and is keen to see growth of savings in the rural areas.
Kwakhona, esinye sezi trategies for the postal sector in support of government’s socio-economic developmental plan is the roll out of new addresses especially in rural areas. South African Post Office ehambisana no Statistics South Africa and other key stakeholders ba develope unique rural addressing system whose uses are far more than for the purposes of postal deliveries.
Le system isebenzisa i GPS coordinates, kwaye inceda u Rhulumente ukuba ayazi ukuba zeziphi iinkonzo ezikhoyo kweziphi iindawo ukuze singa duplicate iiservices. Kwakhona le system can be further utilized by emergency services especially in the event of large scale disasters.
One of our entities, USAASA ulapha ezoku launcha i ICT Access Centre. It is part of the many Access Centres that USAASA is deploying in communities to bridge the ICT segregation. Singu Rhulumente sithi Umntwana ose Nqadu makafane nomntwana wase Rhawutini. Bantwana bam, yeyenu la centre, zeniyisebenzise and google yourselves out of imeko enikuzo namhlanje. Ii computers eziyi 20, ezino internet kunye ne printer ndiqinisekile ukuba zizakuwenza loo mahluko ezimpilweni zenu.
UNEMISA ulapha, and they have presented their programs kuni. Kulonyaka uzayo ndifuna ukubona uninzi lwabantwana balendawo befunda phaya e NEMISA, ukuze le industry ye Electronic Media i attracte nabantwana basezilalini.
Programme Director, xa ndizakuyeka, ndithanda ukugxininisa kubantu base Nqadu ukuba ezinkonzo zezabo. Zebazikhusele. Sithe xa sisiza apha seza ne Department of Safety, bakhona naphaya ententeni. Izolo kwimbizo ebilapha komkhulu bayibethelele intsebenziswano namapolisa, de baninika negama lepolisa elijongene nale ngingqi. Zeni report eke izibhoxi, singaziqumi ngoba zizo ezi zizakusinika igama elibi eluntwini.
Sifuna nje ukuthi zekungathi xa abantu bengaxolanga yinto ethile babase ezinkonzo. Zezenu. Ayisizozika Kumkani, ayisizozika Ceba, ayisizozam kodwa ZEZENU. Ngalo mazwi ndifuna ukuthi kuni Ndiyanithanda, I ANC iyanithanda kwaye inixabisile. Yiyo nalento silapha namhlanje.
Ndiyabulela!
