Mr Davidson, we worked together in Gauteng, when I was your Premier, and I would have thought you would be considerate to me. [Laughter.]
In conclusion, somewhere, at some time in the future, there will have to come a cut-off point in the government's subsidised housing, where people can begin to do things for themselves. We cannot blame the poor and turn our backs on them when they are faced with harsh economic realities. The bulk of the work highlighted here has been done as a result of contributions that have been made.
I am coming to expressing my thanks to the Portfolio Committee on Human Settlements, the team in Human Settlements, the director-general and his team of HODs, communities across the length and breadth of the country, and our staff who carry out their work with enthusiasm.
Regarding our staff, allow me to acknowledge three members of staff who are here with us today. They are the winners of the department's competition: Anna Mphahlele, a messenger, Martha Matini, a photocopy operator, and Meriam Mutama, a cleaner. They are joined by the Titus couple, who recently met with us at Drommedaris. [Applause.]
My message to Mama Nonceba Lujalajala, who has been appointed by me to be the watchful hawk on the Joe Slovo project and who is a beneficiary waiting for her house, is: "Ixesha lakho liyeza, mama. Ndiyabulela." [Your time will come, madam. Thank you.]
