Chairperson, very seriously, the Minister is provoking this type of behaviour. If the Minister concentrated on her response, we wouldn't be acting this way. I will not respond to her. All I'm saying is that she should not provoke other people. [Applause.]
The MINISTER OF WOMEN, CHILDREN AND PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES: I would also like to thank, first of all, the MEC and all the MECs who have responded here. I'm very happy to see the MEC for social development from the Western Cape. I would like to make a special plea to him, particularly on behalf of people with disabilities, children and women. At the beginning of this month, on 5 November, we held national Children's Day at the Union Buildings in Pretoria. When we hold national events, the only province that does not attend is the Western Cape. The children of the Western Cape don't know the Union Buildings. All the other children of South Africa were there, sent by their premiers and MECs to go and participate in national Children's Day in preparation for the Conference on Climate Change, which will be held in Durban on 29 November.
I also want to make an appeal to Ministers regarding people with disabilities. Last year, on 25 November, I was in Khayelitsha with the hon Premier Zille. We were going door to door, visiting the homes of abused women and children and people with disabilities. She visited the home of an 81-year-old woman who lived in a shack that had no water, electricity or toilet. People just kicked in the door and entered to steal her food. She's blind and can't even see who has taken her food. Today she is still living in that shack. [Interjections.] The hon premier promised that they would quickly ensure that she got a house.
