[Mr L J TOLO: Thank you. The country was not smelling good when Bheki Cele took this position, but he is now busy deodorising it so that it smells nicely. [Laughter.] May God bless him with a long life because he is doing his job. Like each and every person he does make mistakes, but we must also appreciate the good work he is doing and praise him. You must continue your good work, for we are behind you.
Thank you, hon Minister. In Sepedi a woman is supposed to be brave. I would like to thank the President for appointing you as the Minister of Correctional Services. We, as Cope members, support the budget for your department even though it is not enough. I am saying this because the private prisons the hon chairperson was talking about are very expensive. If we can prioritize every year, we can be able to build one prison worth R670 million every two years - if I am correct - the amount of money used to pay for the private prison of Mangaung and that of Kutama Sinthumule in Limpopo. You know that better, hon Minister. All I mean is that we can take the R670 million that is used for private prisons and build one prison in two years' time. I believe as time goes on we will have enough prisons.
The prisons are now full because Bheki Cele is arresting criminals. He is a brave man. This matter needs urgent attention because the number of prisoners is increasing. Hon Minister, we as Cope members wish that the private prisons be brought to an end, because we can use the amount of money spent on them to build two or three more prisons.
Hon Minister, Cope supports the Budget Vote as even though we are not so happy with it. [Interjections.]]
