The main reason of work related injuries and increased absenteeism as well as high employee turnover, yet we talk about abuse of alcohol without reflecting on the industry itself. It is a fact that the alcohol and drugs industries are killing industries and until society starts viewing it in that way and talk about it that way, the impact caused by alcohol and drug abuse will continue to be appalling.
It would be highly idealistic and impractical to suggest that there is a quick fix, but we need to start somewhere. We suggest that a renewed focus on job creation and economic prosperity for all would be a suitable starting point. We also wish to see increased police action, enforcing the laws of our country, in particular, the laws that regulate the licenced sale of alcohol and the laws that prohibit underage drinking of alcohol. I thank you. [Time expired.]
If Social mores in a community as well as laws work in harmonious combination, communities will start more self-regulating more effectively.

A bottom up approach will work more effectively in creating social norms that will regulate drinking. The COPE urges government to create township government sub structure of local government to face substance and alcohol abuse and to deal with the wide range socio economic problems, I thank you [Time expired.]

The EFF continues to abuse the President by disrupting his question and answer sessions in this house. On one occasion, by the way, the President was stopped from finishing his answers to questions posed by the House, whilst, on another occasion the President was literally stopped from even starting to answer the questions. Hon Maimane marvelled at the abuse of the head of state to an extent where he could not address this House. He never raised a finger, let alone threatened to go to court in defence of the President and his constitutional obligation; so much for his warped sense of defending the Constitution.
