hUMAN RIGhTS DAY is a national day that is commemorated annually on 21 March to remind South Africans about the sacrifices that accompanied the struggle for the attainment of democracy in South Africa. The commemoration provides the country with an opportunity to reflect on progress made in the promotion and protection of human rights. This years celebrations will be held in Ginsberg, King William’s Town in the eastern Cape. Theme: “The Year of OR Tambo: Unity in Action in Advancing Human Rights” On the day, President Jacob Zuma will officially handover the memorial grave site of Steve Bantu Biko to the Biko-family. This is part of celebrating and promoting unity in line with the vision of OR Tambo.
Why Human Rights Day?
The 1960s were characterised by systematic defiance and protest against apartheid and racism across the country. On 21 March 1960, the community of Sharpeville and Langa townships, like their fellow compatriots across the country, embarked on a protest march to march protest against pass laws. The apartheid police shot and killed 69 of the protesters at Sharpeville, many of them shot while fleeing. Many other people were killed in other parts of the country. The tragedy came to be known as the Sharpeville Massacre and it exposed the apartheid government’s deliberate violation of human rights to the world. The democratic government declared March 21 human Rights Day to commemorate and honour those who fought for our liberation and the rights we enjoy
today. Our Constitution is hailed as one of the most progressive in the world. The Constitution is the ultimate protector of our human Rights, which were previously denied to the majority of our people under Apartheid. We commemorate human Rights Day to reinforce our commitment to the Bill of Rights as enshrined in our Constitution. These rights include: • Equality – everyone is equal before the law and has the right to equal protection and benefit of the law. • Human dignity – everyone has inherent dignity and have their dignity respected and protected. • Freedom of movement and residence – everyone has a right to freedom of movement and to reside anywhere in the country. • Language and culture – everyone has the right to use the language and to participate in the cultural life of their choice. • Life - everyone has the right to life. Government will host various activities throughout human Rights Month to remind all South African to continue working together to uphold the culture of human rights. human Rights come with responsibilities and we all have the responsibility to build a society that respects the rule of law. Whether we are at the work place, within communities, at schools, or with our partners and children, we all need to demonstrate the kind of responsibility that we would like to see in our country’s future. We all have a responsibility to ensure that our human rights record and history are preserved and strengthened for future generations. Follow the conversation on social media: #HumanRightsDay

Gauteng’s budget supports poor citizens in tough economic times!
On Tuesday, March 7, Finance MEC Barbara Creecy (pictured) unveiled Gauteng’s R108-billion budget; saying it will strengthen the transformation of the provincial economy and maintain spending on quality social services to support poor citizens in tough economic times. The biggest share of the budget will go to the social sector with Health receiving R40.2-billion, Education R40.8-billion and Social Development R4.4-billion in the 2017/18 financial year.
“One in four South Africans live in Gauteng and this places great demands on social departments to meet the ever growing needs of our citizens. In times of fiscal consolidation at national level, we developed a Revenue Strategy, to raise R15.6billion over the past two and half years to fund increasing demands primarily in education and health and social services,” she said. The 2017/18 budget is positioned to support efforts by the provincial government to use public procurement as a key instrument to bring about greater inclusion and participation in Gauteng’s economy. “Over the past three years we have spent R46-billion procuring goods and services from 12 000 registered companies. Ten thousand of these companies, belong to historically disadvantaged individuals including firms owned by black entrepre-
neurs, women, youth and the disabled. A total of 91% of our expenditure or R42.8billion has been spent on buying from these companies,” said the MEC.
Significant progress is also being made in support of the Township Economy Revitalisation (TER) Strategy. To date the provincial government has done business with 2813 township enterprises to the value of over R5-billion. “In addition, we have impacted positively on the lives of 350 000 young people in the province through Premier David Makhura’s Tshepo 500 000 initiative. To intensify the programme going forward, an additional R110.9-million is provided for 2017/18 to support youth employability,” MEC Creecy said. Gauteng’s infrastructure spend improves service delivery, creates jobs and integrates economic opportunities with transport corridors and human settlements. “Over the medium term we will spend R43.7-billion on infrastructure; making this the largest provincial infrastructure investment in the country,” MEC Creecy explained. Human settlements will account for the largest share of the infrastructure spend as the provincial government moves to turn Gauteng into a construction site with the implementation of 31 mega housing projects.
“To ensure infrastructure budgets achieve their targets, funds have been allocated only to those projects that are “shovel ready”, the MEC said; adding that preliminary research by auditing firm KPMG shows that the R30-billion spent on infrastructure between 20132016 created 92 000 direct jobs and sustained 69 000 indirect jobs, added R15billion to household income and generated R6-billion in government revenue. MEC Creecy reiterated government’s commitment to improve the management of finances and fight fraud and corruption. Ground breaking initiatives such as the Open Tender have led to significant improvement of audit outcomes in both the provincial and local spheres. “Over the past two and a half years we have saved R414-million through cutting costs on transport, corporate branding, travel and accommodation and redirecting these amounts to citizen’s needs,” Creecy said. The province will continue with its modernisation efforts. Funds have been set aside to prepare and support the institutionalisation of ICT in schools. Also in support of the province’s goal of providing 100 percent connectivity of government institutions by 2019, allocations to Gauteng’s Broadband Network project increase by R90- million in 2017/18.
