Madam Speaker, hon Deputy President, you referred to the important role that local government will have to play in this regard. Now, the sector skills plan findings for local government indicate that 36% to 38% of approved positions in local government are vacant. The highest proportion of these vacant posts is in less skilled positions - elementary and clerical workers. So, the shortage is not attributable to skills scarcity. They also found that at least 20 000 to 30 000 jobs could be created immediately if they would just appoint these people. So, hon Deputy President, I would like to ask you: Does the government have any plans or initiatives to ensure that the local government appoints these people, and can you exert any pressure on an organisation such as the ANC, which has 80% of the executive managers that can do this job?
