On 14 February like ev-ery year the president ofthe Republic delivered hisState of the Nation Ad-dress (SONA) outlininggovernments’ plans in theyear ahead as well as thechallenges encountered inimplementing some of thepolicies aimed at betteringthe lives of the people.We take a brief look at the2013 SONA.

Protection of Women andChildrenThe President said thecampaign of fighting vio-lence against women andchildren must be every-day campaign. The FamilyViolence, Child Protectionand Sexual Offences Units,which were re-establishedin 2010, have increasedpersonnel. During the lastfinancial year, the Units se-cured over 363 life sentenc-es, with a conviction rateof 73% for crimes againstwomen above 18 years oldand 70% for crimes againstchildren under 18 years ofage. In addition, the Com-bating of Trafficking inPersons Bill was passed by

the National Assembly lastyear and is now at the Na-tional Council of Provinc-es. Once implemented, thelaw will assist women andchildren, who are often vic-tims of this heinous crime.

Youth UnemploymentA job fund has been estab-lished and to date has gath-ered 3 billion rands towardsprojects that will createjobs. Nedlac and its constit-uencies will sign an agree-ment later this month onyouth employment incen-tives. The incentives willadd to what Government isalready doing to empowerthe youth. State ownedcompanies provide appren-ticeships and learnershipsand we urge that these beincreased. Private sector isurged to absorb 11 000 FETgraduates who are awaitingplacements. The Depart-ment of Rural Developmentand Land Reform runs theNational Rural Youth Ser-vices Corps, which has en-rolled 11 740 young peoplein various training pro-grammes. The Departmentis also planning nine RuralYouth Hubs per province,including in the 23 poorest

districts in the country. Ex-panded Public Works Pro-gramme and the CommunityWork programme must beused to absorb young people.

Crime and CorruptionThe operations focusing onillegal firearms, stolen androbbed vehicles, liquor anddrugs which are regardedas main generators of crimehave assisted in crime reduc-tion. The President said since2009 he has since signed 34proclamations directing SIU(Special Investigating Unit)to investigate allegations ofcorruption, fraud or malad-ministration in various gov-ernment departments andstate entities. In other suc-cesses, in the past financialyear, 107 officials workingwithin the criminal justicesystem were convicted.The Asset Forfeiture Unitseized assets valued at morethan R541 million. A total ofR61 million of these assetshave already been forfeitedto the State. The assets arechannelled back to fight-ing crime and corruptionthrough the Criminal AssetRecovery Account.Last year, additional fund-ing of R150 million from theCriminal Assets RecoveryAccount was approved forthe work of the Anti-Cor-ruption Task Team whichcomprises the Hawks, theSpecial Investigating Unitand the National Prosecuting

SONA AT A GLANCEDear Reader,

The recent violent abuse of women and children hassent shock waves around the nation and the globe,if this not checked properly it might go out of hand.Women are raped, tortured and stripped off their dig-nity in the most inhumane way one can think of.

Addressing this scourge one needs to applaud the StatePresident during his state of the nation address lastThursday night where he condemned this behaviour inevery possible harsh terms. He said the campaign forthe fight of abuse against women and children must bean everyday campaign and mentioned various legisla-tive frameworks that will ensure stricter sentences toperpetrators of such heinous crime.

Not trying to be presumptuous, but I think the recentincident around Oscar Pistorius and other high profilefigures teaches us that no one is immune to violence,like once Nelson Mandela said “A society that do notrespect its women and children is doomed to failure”.Remember the article 1 of Universal Declaration ofHuman Rights says: “All human beings are born freeand equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed withreason and conscience and should act towards oneanother in a spirit of brotherhood”.

sify progress in the pilotdistricts.HousingIn last year’s address thegovernment raised the is-sue of the gap market, thepeople who earn too muchto qualify for an RDPhouse and too little for abank mortgage bond. FromApril 2012 to December2012, Provincial Depart-ments committed a budgetof 126 million rand of theHuman Settlements De-velopment Grant for thisprogramme, known as theFinance Linked IndividualSubsidy programme orFLISP in short. The moneyis being used through theNational Housing FinanceCorporation, which hasbeen appointed to deliverhouses to people withinthe Gap market in twelveregistered projects. A to-tal of 70 million rand hasbeen used to date. Projectsinclude Walmer Link in theEastern Cape, Lady Sel-bourne, Nelmapius, Boh-labela Borwa, Cosmo Cityand Fleurhof in Gauteng,Intabazwe Corridor Hous-ing in the Free State andSeraleng in North West.The implementation ofthese eight GAP housingprojects is currently under-way.

Authority.EducationEducation must be de-clared an essential service.The Department of BasicEducation will establisha national task team tostrengthen the implemen-tation of the Mathematics,Science and TechnologyStrategy. In this regard, hesaid the presidency willestablish a Presidential Re-muneration Commissionwhich will investigate theappropriateness of the re-muneration and conditionsof service provided by theState to all its employ-ees and the priority willbe given first to teachers.Construction is expected tobegin in September at thesites of two new universi-ties in the Northern Capeand Mpumalanga.

It is inevitable that injury or disease linked to the workplace willoccur andworkers need a reasonable guarantee for compensationin such instances. Thankfully South Africa has a prettystraightforward process that deals with compensation arising outof workplace injuries or occupational diseases. This is importantbecause the last thing an employee needs to worry about whenthey are diagnosed with a job related disease or involved in awork related accident is how they or their dependents will beprovided for.

Income security is one of the most crucial aspects of modern lifeand as a public entity under the auspices of the Department ofLabour the Compensation Fund plays an important role inproviding workers and their dependents a degree of securityshould the dreaded reality of injury, disease or worse death strikein the course of their occupation.

As with any such benefit of vital importance, investment inawareness campaigns cannot be overestimated. Anecdotalevidence suggests that some workers are still unaware of whereto lodge their claims. There have been instances where claimsunder the Compensation for Occupational Injuries and DiseasesAct (COIDA) have been submitted to theHealthDepartment.

At the outset it is important to note that the COIDA deals onlywith personal injury, illness or the death of an employee thatoccurs during the course of his or her employment. Awareness ofthe process to be followed in case of an accident, disease or evendeath is of crucial importance. This ensures that the employeeinvolved in a work-related accident or diagnosed with a work-related disease and or their dependents, will be entitled tocompensation under theCOIDA.

Some of the benefits under the COIDAinclude, monthly pensionto dependent children or spouse, burial expenses in case of death.One of the options available to children that turn 18 but are still atschool is that they can provide proof to the compensation fundthat they are still at school and the monthly pension will beextended until they complete their schooling.

The COIDA has a clearly defined process for claimingcompensation. As with all such highly regulated process, it isimportant that employees and or their beneficiaries realize theimportance of acting without delay when claiming forcompensation. In order to speed up the process of claiming, alldocumentation must be complete and correct. These include theEmployer's report of an accident or disease, death certificate or apost mortem report. Other documents are birth certificates ofdependents, marriage certificate, banking details, proof ofresidence and banking details.

The COIDA does not cover accidents that are caused by thewillful negligence or “serious and willful” misconduct on thepart of the employee. The only exceptions may be if the accidentresults in “serious disablement” or the employee's death andleaves behind a dependent or dependents. Timelycommunication is a must and South African workplaces have tocontinually make employees aware that it is their duty to informtheir employers of any accident or the onset of disease, providedthey are in a position to do so. Once the employer is informed,they are then obliged to inform the Compensation Fund within 7days in the case of an accident or 14 days in the case of anoccupational disease.

Once the Compensation Fund is in possession of all the requireddocumentation, it processes the claim. At the completion of theprocesses the worker receives compensation for lost income orany other expenses incurred through the accident, illness ordependents receive compensation in case of death.

The COID is one of the most important Act within theDepartment ofLabour.

'Little one' is the story of a 6-year-old girl named Vuyelwa who is left for dead in afield near a township in Johannesburg. Vuyelwa is found by a middle-aged woman,named Pauline, who rushes her to hospital. After saving her life, it comes to light thatthe little girl has been raped and her face badly beaten. To help her cope with theshame and disfigurement, Pauline makes her a mask to cover her face.

While Vuyelwa is in the hospital no one comes forward to claim her and the policeare left with an unsolved mystery on their hands. Pauline becomes actively involvedin the case and visits the little girl daily, despite her husband Jaco's protests. A strongbond is formed between Pauline and the child, which leads Pualine to try and adopther.

Determined not to let little Vuyelwa languish in the system, Pauline kidnaps her fromthe hospital and takes her home where she looks after her as her own flesh and blood.Jacob warms up to the little girl and eventually she becomes apart of the family.

Pauline begins her own investigation and is helped by Detective Morena, asympathetic cop who is deeply affected by what has happened to this young child.Eventually, they solve the case and Vuyelwa is re-united with her real mother. This isa bittersweet moment for Pauline who has to now relinquish this little girl that shehas come to love and cherish as if her own.

'Little one' is a story about ordinary people living day to day in a poverty-strickenenvironment where despite the crime and tough living conditions there is still hopeand love to be found.
