Hon Speaker, first of all I would like to thank the hon Tseke for raising the issue of the culpable homicide charges that have been levelled against the driver who is alleged to have been seriously drunk, who killed five joggers and seriously injured a sixth person. It is absolutely correct and, certainly, from the Department of Transport side, we strongly welcome signs from the judiciary that they are beginning to treat these kinds of accidents seriously and not just as accidents, but actually as criminal incidents that need to be treated with that level of seriousness. As the hon Tseke said, in the course of this year some 20 000 drunk drivers have been arrested on our roads - this is in the past 11 months. I think that we need to send a very strong message as this Parliament that we intend to be very, very firm on drunken driving and other acts of irresponsibility on our roads.
I would also like to welcome the statement made by the hon Mushwana about the upgrading infrastructure initiatives in Limpopo and specifically around Lephalale. I think this is a wonderful example of how we are trying to approach infrastructure development. Rather than do infrastructure - which sometimes has been the case in past - in patches and bits and pieces, what we are trying to do is ensure that there is major bulk infrastructure spending, that at the same time we use the Expanded Public Works Programme. Some R424 million is allocated to that to do road maintenance projects, to do pothole repairs and patching projects; and, at the same time, to also allocate a significant amount towards improving the province's freight database, so that we have a comprehensive approach to infrastructure development. One really welcomes the statement by the hon Mushwana in this respect. [Applause.]
