Thank you, Chairperson. It is true that emotionally you can stand up and say we lost 100 people during the strike. You could easily say that and point out the people who were buried. But I am talking scientifically here in terms of procedures. Otherwise I could also be giving nonfactual information to the gallery by saying 1 000 people died and that the people who were on strike killed them. I am trying to give scientific facts here about what I know.
In terms of measures, they did help a lot. Members of the public were excellent - those who came in and helped in hospitals. That is why a hospital like Chris Hani Baragwanath became a centre where everybody went to.
At one stage, they successfully did 90 caesareans a day, which has never happened before. People from all over the place rushed there because the measures that had been put in place at the hospital were such that it was running like a normal hospital.
We had such situations all over the country where the measures that were put in place - members of the public - normalised the situation. Due to the army, the situation never became as bad as it could have been. Thank you.
