Thank you very much, hon member. You will know that, as you said, there were reports in the press that when the President left the water stopped coming out of the taps. The President didn't take the water there. I was with him and he didn't take any water to that area. Water was available on that day. The reports are that some days after we left, the taps ran dry.
Firstly, what I can confirm is that the area has very serious challenges with regard to water. It is a very flat area, it depends mainly on boreholes, and from time to time the boreholes themselves are not in working order.
Secondly, as I indicated in my response, the current capacity of the reservoir is 0,35 ML, and it is only now that that is increasing. Therefore, from time to time the community there will still face challenges relating to water, whether the President has been there or not. However, we are now confident that it will be improved. Thank you. [Applause.]
