Thank you, Chairperson. Firstly, by specifics I understand precise events and processes. I referred to the 25 municipalities in my answer to your question. With regard to the North West, I talked about the SIU investigation initiated by the Minister for Co-operative Governance and Traditional Affairs. I also referred you to yesterday's media reports on the previous day's appearance before the court of the Umsunduzi Deputy Mayor and a team of officials for transgressions and municipal corruption. I have also referred you to several other cases. So, regarding specifics, I am not sure how much more specific you want it to be. However, we can actually, if need be, give you a written answer on every specific case. But, may I point out that, in fact, it is very easy for the department to respond before the portfolio committee, and we commit ourselves to doing so. There are officials here in the gallery, and they will note that. We commit ourselves to appearing before the committee on co-operative governance and traditional affairs.
I am unaware of any specific cases that have been brought to my attention by the committee in the recent past, but presumably it is in the Minister's office and I will confer with the director-general and the acting Minister. We suggest that the Select Committee on Co-operative Governance and Traditional Affairs ask us as soon as possible to appear before it, and we will answer regarding what we have done in respect of proposals that have been made to us on how to deal with corruption. We are very interested in working with the portfolio committee and the NCOP.
