MEC Phosa said the Christmas party is being held to give practical meaning to the Government’s commitment to ensure that all children live and play in an environment that is fit for their development.

“We hosted the party because we want our children, and especially the orphans to know that we care for them. They should grow convinced that we too share in their hopes for a better future.

“This Christmas party is also an affirmation of our commitment to take step to ensure a brighter future, for children are the future public servants and leaders from whom many people will depend on to continue implementation of developmental programmes of this democratic government, said MEC Phosa.

The ministry is intended ensure a dedicated attention to the needs and aspirations of women, children and people with disabilities, said MEC Phosa.
