Chairperson, the answer to that is, yes. At the time that magistrates' courts were designated as equality courts, there was indeed a programme providing training to magistrates' courts. And that work will continue under the auspices of the South African Judicial Education Institute. Secondly, yes indeed, the department does, through its directorate on the promotion of the rights of vulnerable groups, place emphasis on the question of disability in promoting equality courts. Thank you.
