“Njengababalisi abaphansi kwenhlanganiso eyeARTUZ thina sithi asikabuyeli emsebenzini ngoba imali efunwa ngababalisi ayikafakwa. Lokhu okwenziwa nguhulumende esethusela abantu akusebenzi nxa sikhangela ustatutory instrument ka2000, kabangaphicwa yilokhu abakubhalayo bona. Ngalokhu thina asikabuyeli emsebenzini.”

Siyazi ukuthi bakhala ngeholo kodwa njengoba igovernment ikhulume labo ngendaba yeholo ngabe bayabuyela befundise abantwana ngoba akula lapha angadluli khona umbalisi.”
