Hon Speaker, the hon Minister, in a previous reply to the hon Lekota, indicated that money expended on the homes of former Presidents since 1994 was guided by a consistent approach. He then indicated that there would be an evaluation by the Security Cluster that would be based on the findings of the threat analysis done.
Now we would like to know this. If such an imminent threat exists for the President of the country, what is the department planning to do to upgrade the security of the Deputy President's home, who on occasion has to act as the head of state when President Zuma is out of the country? If such an imminent threat exists for the family and the home of the President, then surely that should affect those acting in that capacity as well. Does his department plan any similar roll-out of security upgrades to the hon Deputy President's home? Thank you.
