Hon Deputy Speaker, I would like to respond to the hon member from Cope who spoke about the 500 000 jobs to be created by the Department of Public Works. It is true that the President has given the assurance that 500 000 job opportunities will be created by the end of the year, and the month. I would also like to assure the hon member that it is not only the Department of Public Works that has been charged with this responsibility, but it is all of us.
In our rural development job creation model, we have indicated in this House that it is based on households. We have started this programme and are now in Riemvasmaak. There are about 800 households there. In all the places that we will be going to, this is one area where we will be making a lot of contributions.
The second matter is that of the Defence Force. I would like to remind hon members of the House that the Minister of Defence and Military Veterans yesterday responded very swiftly, clearly and emphatically on this matter. We are a young democracy. All of these things are going to happen now and then. We will see them as we are busy creating our vibrant democracy, but we will settle because the government is firm on these issues. Lastly, I want to respond to the hon member who spoke of the victory of Sadesmo over Sasco and other democratic and progressive student movements. I just want to say to the hon member that one swallow doesn't make a summer. I thank you. [Applause.] [Laughter.]
