Chairperson, it may come as a measure of relief to the hon Nzimande that this is the first occasion that I have the honour to address Minister Motshekga as the Minister of Basic Education as the official opposition spokesperson on basic education.
The question that I would like to ask is whether the department, through the various vehicles that she has, including Minmec, would provide resources to schools to provide for counselling for individuals who were intimidated and harmed during the strike?
I visited a school this morning, as a matter of fact, in Durban, Lindelani, and there were clear indications that many individuals were harmed during the strike. Therefore, I believe that it is the responsibility of her department to see to it that measures be taken to provide resources for counselling for them.
