Deputy Speaker, I would like to thank the hon Minister for the answers. Hon Minister, the then acting director-general of your department accompanied you to New York to attend the 57th CSW session. During the past financial year, she was sent back on two occasions as she could not do a proper presentation to the committee on the implementation of the department's turnaround strategy.
Seeing that the department is not where it should be in implementing the turnaround strategy and doesn't seem to have prioritised the implementation thereof, why did you allow her to accompany you? I am asking this question, Minister, because I believe that charity begins at home. Thank you.
The MINISTER OF WOMEN, CHILDREN AND PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES: Deputy Speaker, the acting director-general was there to help lead the negotiations. She did not stay throughout the session; she came back on time to complete her work. She has presented the turnaround strategy to the Portfolio Committee on Women, Children and People with Disabilities, and that turnaround strategy was accepted and applauded by the committee. I thank you, Deputy Speaker. [Interjections.]
