Thank you very much, Deputy Speaker, and thanks for the follow up question and the support that we are getting with regards to this integrated model.
To ensure that revenue is collected and protected, we are putting credit control measures. Now, those measures ... National Treasury and the Department of Cogta are working together with all our municipalities to ensure that payments that are made to suppliers are credible and that
they have been checked so that we minimise wastages and corruption. We are finding this working because all the projects that are implemented in that district are indicated on the dashboard; progress is reported monthly and payments are being reported so that we ensure that there is no money that is lost.
Of course, the problem that municipalities are experiencing is payments for services. Our people are not paying for the services; probably we should use this platform to encourage all of our people to pay for services rendered. Our people must pay for electricity and water they consume. Thank you very much. [Applause.]
