East Rand Child Welfare

The Children is a Country's future. Seemingly the Children in this situation has no Future. Every Child should have a chance. Every Child has a right to Food, Water, Health care, Clothing and EDUCATION!

Our children are our future .. the incumbent government need to honour their obligation to provide care and associated benefits for child welfare.

They need all the help they can get, no matter how big or small.

When I lived in Edenglen, I did volunteer work at Edenvale child Welfare. I know first hand how hard paid staff and volunteers work to make the lives of those less fortunate better. Fundraising is hard work and usually doesn't raise large amounts of cash. Obtaining regular sponsorship was even harder to obtain.

Children are becoming more and more vulnerable, and the funding is becoming less. Funds need to be channelled towards assisting the homes who care for them.

I think its something we all should talk about cause as an individual I myself was under the child welfare system and they didn't really care about us

Because it is unjust

Because my taxes is supposed to pay for this but it is being wasted away.

The government obviously does not prioritise our children... so it is our duty too!

Because something needs to be done about this grossly negligent act from the Government

I'm tired of the ANC destroying everything they touch.

i am an adopted child from germiston child welfare 53 years ago. the importance of proper care facilities for children etc is impertative

Children should be one of our first priorities

Once again the ANC is letting down the country and its people. When are people going to open up their eyes and realise the DA is the only way to go - no matter what your colour, religion or daily beliefs are!!!

Because the ANC through their over staffing of all government departments are paying out the funds that should be used for the purpose, as in this case Child welfare, to salaries.
Now 38% of national budget to salaries creating a big bank of voters for any electons. This is a gross form of corruption starting from the top.

I am sick and tired of the fat cats getting all the txxpayers money and also men that make babies but do not look after them

The ANC Government is failing its people at every level of society.
The voice of the opposition MUST rally more support to make the change required to bring us back on track.

The nation that neflets its children ,it kills its future. Lets invest in these needy children in oser for them to get opportunities that can brighten their future and the future of the country at large

I think it is disgusting how, we have become a rich get richer and poor get poorer country. It does not say much about a countries goverment, were road / city name changes (to name a few money wasting exercises) takes priority over helping the less fortunate. The fact that companies who donate to NPO's for there BEE ratings, now have to make sure that 75% of the beneficiaries of the NPO's are black, in order for the contributions to the NPO to assist in the companies BEE rating is also really bad, there are organisations that just fall sort of this figure and as a result are close to closing there doors, because they have now lost funding that they have had from company donations in the past is really sad. Goverment expects other organsations / Private sector to make up for there shortfalls in funding, why make it so difficult.
What happened to our "Raindow Nation" - If you are less fortunate or disabled, why should the colour of your skin matter.

To get the ANC to spend money where it is needed

I believe that we must take care of our children and especially those that are under-privileged or do not have a home or parents. South Africa are wasting it's money on things like Nkandla instead of taking care of the people and children of South Africa. This must change and if my signature can bring about the change, I am more than willing to participate.

I care for our poor children and already support childrens Haven and Olivers House on the East Rand whereby the Government is turning a blind Eye to these organisations and enriching themselfs

I care about children and their welfare.

because government must look after our children the bible also tell us

Our government is a disgrace as they fought for equality and now they just rob everyone of their rights specially those that cannot fight back and standup for themselvers. The children and the elderley and why cannot we not live in peace and love with each other. instead of who hit who lets go forward and forgive.
