Through you, Chairperson, thank you Minister for your reply. The road between Winburg and Marquard is in terrible state. We have actually been calling for something to be done there for quite some time. So, we welcome any form of rehabilitation of that road. It really has been quite a danger and it is the main road to Lesotho from that area of the Free State, so it is quite busy.
However, Minister, I would like to ask you if you can guarantee today that this contract that was awarded can in no way be linked to Mr Ace Magashule or his daughter. If you cannot give me that guarantee, would you, please, undertake to investigate this allegation and report to the House? Thank you very much, Chair.
