We cannot sit and say we must start to rebuild the department, whereas we can do something to assist those children to go to school and get the proper nutrition they need. [Interjections.]
In conclusion, South Africa is a unitary state. Therefore, the failure of a province or department in executing its mandate in totality reflects the failure of the government as a whole. The ANC-led government will never allow or tolerate anyone or any department to undermine our values as enshrined in the Freedom Charter and put into practice by our Constitution. The pessimists that always criticise when we do well must remember that we work in principle. We support this statement. Thank you. [Time expired.] [Applause.]
