Hon member, I am going to come back to you, because I said I must do it properly. I think you are creating an environment in which it is inappropriate for us to behave the way we are behaving in the House.
Let's proceed. Go ahead, hon Minister. [Interjections.]
The MINISTER OF HUMAN SETTLEMENTS, WATER AND SANITATION: Could I
just please, before I respond, also point out that what hon Steenhuisen is missing is that he stands up to call a point of order, but until the Chair actually asks me to sit down, that point of order does not hold. [Interjections.] Yes, the chair has to acknowledge you and ask me to sit down so that your point of order is acknowledged. That did not happen, and therefore I would like you to just sit there and listen. [Interjections.]
The hon member to whom I was responding, I was indicating to you that we are very concerned about the situation of water shortages in KwaZulu-Natal. We want to do everything we can to assist.
However, we do have some impediments which I will go through. I have indicated to the hon member from the IFP that the biggest impediment are those people who get to the project operators to demand money. This makes our operations there very difficult.
In short, we do have breakdowns of all the dates without the impediments which we will provide for you.
