Hon Deputy Speaker, the construction of the Polihali Dam and Phase 2 of the Lesotho Highlands Water Project are undertaken by our Trans-Caledon Tunnel Authority, TCTA. The Trans-Caledon Tunnel Authority is a government institution that constructs dams and such infrastructures on behalf of government by raising money off- budget. There are times when the TCTA is also supported, from the government's point of view, where there is a social component to that water in order to cushion the pricing of water. In this instance it is highly possible that there would also be a cushioning by the South African government from the Treasury's point of view in order to take care of the social component of our water. That part has not yet been determined.
The Trans-Caledon Tunnel Authority is currently still raising those funds and it is very premature to say if pricing would actually go up and at what level will it be. I must say that in Water Affairs we are currently working with our stakeholders to determine the water tariff policy throughout government and all dams. That would also be helpful in terms of ensuring that water tariffs in this country are done in a very scientific and balanced manner. Thank you. [Applause.]
