Speaker, I thank the hon member from the IFP for referring to the person who discovered, unbeknown to her, that she has been married for 10 years. I must say I am surprised that it lasted that long. We encourage our citizens to check their marital status on a regular basis. We have been issuing messages to the public in this regard because we have indicated that ... [Interjections.]
Order, hon members, order!
... there is a great deal of identity theft in our country, and hence we call on our citizens to know their status.
However, I would be keen to ask the hon member to provide me with the details of the individual so that I may assist her and check with the particular office that has not been able to afford her proper assistance. Hon members do provide me with such details from time to time, and I discovered that we have been able to help and support each other in providing efficient services to the people of our country. Therefore, I make that offer to the hon member.
I also thank members of the public who have been providing these comfort packs to the young girls in schools in our country because they are a very important support to the young people, who often find themselves in very emotional and difficult circumstances. It is the private sector companies, our Minister of Basic Education and a range of nongovernmental organisations that are playing a very important role in supporting the young girls with these comfort packs. In fact, even in countries where there is civil conflict, this has been a very important area of support for women.
Finally, I think the hon members are struggling to accept that Ministers are politicians. If they make statements that are political here, we will respond politically, because we are politicians while also holding executive positions. All the areas that the hon Tsenoli referred to were raised in different statements by members and we will respond to them. Thank you. [Time expired.] [Applause.]
