Hon Deputy Speaker, the role that is played by the department of public works in providing strategic leadership for the purpose of creating employment cannot be overlooked. This also leads to the
employment of some people who can be employed temporarily. So, that is at least a contribution to the idea of reducing employment in our country.
The departments must co-ordinate and enhance the capacity of the provincial and local government in this regard so as to get into the so called IGR, intergovernmental relations. Properties like old buildings must be renovated and used to generate funds. It is very much disappointing for the long lease that is owned by some people owning these properties because these should now be used for the purpose of generating funds. For instance now in our area we have a property that is owned by golf club people members. We once wanted to build a mall there but we were refused by these people because their lease is very much long. So, that should not be encouraged. So, we support the recommendations and the observations of this committee. Thank you very much.
