Speaker, I think we all know that the Municipal Demarcation Board is an independent institution. It conducts its work in terms of the Constitution and the law. It has certain criteria that it uses for making the determinations that it does. We believe that for these determinations it has taken into account a wide range of factors that are set out in the Act.
However, we are also mindful that in the implementation of any such redemarcations, there will be challenges. For that reason, the Department of Co-operative Governance and Traditional Affairs has put together task teams to assist the municipalities in question to work towards the implementation of the determinations of the Municipal Demarcation Board. Thank you.
