Chairperson, let me once more thank my party, the ANC, for its support, as well as all the other parties that actually supported this.
Hon Kloppers-Lourens, I think that what you are raising is a bit like splitting hairs, because if the National Student Financial Aid Scheme, NSFAS, has to be put under administration precisely because there is a threat to its optimal functioning, why not draw those monies from the NSFAS? That process is aimed at enhancing the functionality and positive impact of the NSFAS. However, I do take the point that you are making, hon Kloppers-Lourens, that we have to make sure that things do not fall through the cracks; that when we do away with the unconstitutional section, we do not open a gap for people not to pay and for us not to be able to recover monies owed. We take that point. That is why we said we have prioritised that and we are working at looking urgently at a system that will actually replace this.
It is very interesting, nevertheless, that I do not know why the DA would support these principles and then waver. If you will allow me, Chair, to talk to my benches on this side, I can say that maybe what this is reflecting is a fundamental process that is taking place within the DA. The DA is divided, essentially between two strata. [Interjections.] The one stratum is your Progressive Federal Party, PFP, type of old liberals, like my good friend who has gone, Mike Ellis, and the other is a hard-line rightist stratum that came from the National Party to come together to form the DA.
