Regarding the second issue: if the hon member's child was really watching the proceedings, I think that poor child would be very disappointed, because the father representing the party in Parliament is also misleading the poor child by saying that the department had not made any effort and also that the department had not set aside money in its budget and its strategic plan for school sports. This is because there is a programme, which is being phased in, with a specific emphasis on rural schools. Therefore, I would really be ashamed if I was the child listening to my father speaking about this.
On the last issue of Beyonc, I think the Minister is on record as saying that he would appreciate having that on the menu. But there is no budget of R17 million for Beyonc. It is a media issue that has been made public. There is no budget in the strategic plan of the department for Beyonc to be brought to South Africa at a cost of R17 million for the awards in November. Therefore, as the ANC, we support the Budget Vote. [Applause.]
