Chairperson, please permit me to affirm what the chairperson has said. I wish to note the number of problems that really permeate our education system here. The issue of the examinations came as a result of what would have been done throughout the year. But we have a problem here; lots and lots of untruths have been passed on to the committee, the National Assembly, the country, etc.
A case in point is the issue of text books, which is a major problem. They have not been delivered in many areas. The Minister has said that was done; the various provincial departments have said that was the case and the spokesperson of the Department of Basic Education also said that was the case. They even spoke about 99% delivery at some stage. That has not been done in many areas. We can even point out some of those areas where this has not yet been done. That is a major problem.
With regard to President Zuma's statement made last year, when he indicated that at least 99% of everything would have been done in Limpopo by the end of the year, the contrary is basically the case. Now this is a major problem. It therefore says it's a lie in various areas. I am saying it is a lie because I'll give an example before the husband of the Minister comes in. [Interjections.]
