Thank you. Chairperson, comrades and friends, in response to the first question, which is No 72, we want, firstly, to point out that we think that it is a very good question, because it links issues of capacity and resource constraints with strategies to grow the economy, and that is a holistic response to dealing with corruption.
The department has, in fact, established the Anti-Corruption Inspectorate, whose mandate is basically to monitor trends of corruption in municipalities and to assist municipalities to deal with corruption cases, but also to be preventative and encourage amongst councillors and officials a sense of ethical conduct. The inspectorate has only recently been formed. It has a lot of potential, obviously, but it is too early to say exactly how effective it is.
In respect of the first subsection, we have personnel there - a leader and some staff - and together they do have the skills necessary for investigation and training. However, obviously over time we will empower and capacitate them further. With regard to the second subsection, the budget for the inspectorate for now - the current purpose - is sufficient. Regarding the third subsection, the department is committed to local economic development. We think job creation is crucial if we are to reduce corruption. We are committed to co-operatives and we have also launched Business Adopt-a-Municipality, where we encourage the private sector to partner with specific municipalities, as it is in both their interest and the interest of municipalities to work together. Thank you indeed.
