Deputy Speaker, a challenge facing this department is the involvement of young people in service training. It is important that provinces and all the different stakeholders should be involved in recruiting young people to ensure that these people are attending the service training. The IFP supports this action because we believe that it will not be used politically for the propaganda machinery, especially for people who are known to you.
Co-operation and working together with labour unions is of paramount importance and if they are recognised, they should work together. If they are not recognised, they should not be given a platform to work together. It must be quite clear. They must draw a line.
The IFP awaits the amendments of the Defence Amendment Bill in order to ensure that the trade unions within the department are curtailed because there are so many of them with powers that they are not supposed to have. Thank you.
