Speaker, hon Lekota perhaps forgot to mention that some of these blanket-wearing people eat cats as well, as part of their delicacies. Speaker, I really stand to respond to the statement by the member himself. I fully agree with him that it is important, for everybody to acknowledge education as extremely important and embarking on any disruptive activity such as the SA Democratic Teacher's Union, Sadtu's current action undermines this important service. It betrays the trust and hopes of South Africans for development and a successful fight against poverty and unemployment.
Disruptive activities such as the planned march for tomorrow by Sadtu, unfortunately affects those who least can afford it. As government, we are indeed concerned about this. I will be meeting MECs on Thursday to assess the situation and agree on steps to be taken because these ongoing activities are a real sabotage to our children's future.
As government we continue to do our part in pursuance of our commitment to quality education. We want all South Africans to support us in this fight for quality education. So, I fully agree with the member and I think it is very unfortunate that we find ourselves in this situation. We are really looking into the matter and we hope we will be able to find a solution quickly because it is very worrying. Thank you.
