Chairperson, the immovable asset register should be an inventory of all of government's immovable assets which this department oversees on behalf of the people of this country. However, the register has not been completed as we stand here. There is still a lot of work that needs to be done. The questions we would like to ask the Minister are: How many assets are on this register, where are they and what are they? What is their total value, Mr Minister? Could you tell us?
Minister, the immovable asset investment management should have a total of 5 704 staff members, but currently only has 4 640 - a vacancy rate of about 529. How will this department meet this target if it does not have the requisite staff numbers, hon Minister?
Further, Minister, you recently announced that a number of officials in your department will face the music as a result of the Nkandla saga. Minister, we feel that these officials are only the tip of the iceberg. We hope that they are not being used as scapegoats and that everyone involved, including those at the top, faces the same music. The DA rejects this budget.
