[Mr T A MASHAMAITE: Thank you, hon Chairperson. I appreciate the good work done by the department, their progress. The department provided 234 schools with science equipment, Internet connections and 3G equipment. In 2010, 260 question papers were prepared and forwarded to the department for the learners to be able to write their examinations.
These are the few things I can mention to prove that there is progress in the department. Some of the things were already mentioned by other members so I cannot repeat them.
The Auditor-General reported that the money was used effectively in the 2009-10 financial year. We appreciate the clean financial audit report which indicates the good work done by men and women.
The Auditor-General indicated that according to his report the provincial education departments are doing well. It is obvious that officials in the provincial departments are not following the main documents and the Public Finance Management Act, PMFA. Hon Minister, provincial departments need attention because this might open doors to corruption. The type of leadership we have in the national department must be extended to the provincial departments because they get extra funding.
In conclusion, we are ready to give the department whatever support it needs from the committee. Hon Minister, the Portfolio Committee on Basic Education supports you. We support the budget, as ANC members. Thank you. [Applause.]]
