Deputy Speaker, I would like to respond to hon member Steyn on the issues raised regarding housing in Rustenburg and Vryburg.
I want to assure the member that the meeting of the Minister and Members of Executive Councils, Minmec, we held in October last year was in Rustenburg, and that we were able to visit that project. We agree with you that the wastage of money is not acceptable. The explanation we got from the province when we asked questions around that issue was that the municipality was serving as a developer.
The province has taken upon itself to be the developer of the project. The province and the municipality are working together at finding ways and means of recovering the money. We have put the matter under the Special Investigation Unit, SIU, and assure you that the issue of corruption is receiving high attention as far as our department is concerned.
The North West scenario is part of this package. We hope that you are going to give us detailed information regarding this project so that we can take the process forward. I thank you. [Applause.]
