Hon Chair, our schools are indeed characterised by major inequalities. You have some that have violins and others that don't even have whistles. That is the character of what we have inherited and it is one of the major challenges we have.
On whether we would reach the 2014 target, we are working very hard, that's why we've worked out the costs. We are saying, in terms of the accelerated infrastructure programme, that sanitation, water, electricity and fencing are our priorities. Any other money that we asked to be identified for us in the fiscus is going to address those priorities. Even in terms of provincial monies, we are saying to them that they have to prioritise those four areas. I am quite confident that we will indeed reach that target.
As part of our turnaround strategy, also, we are looking at wasteful expenditure, where we indeed often have to cut off in different areas. We are looking at different ways of saving to make sure that indeed we can make savings, such as, how we deliver books - that there are too many people in between. In making sure that we can cut off, we are trying to deal directly with publishers.
Provinces are refused permission to build very expensive schools for R100 million when they still have basic things that are not there in their provinces. That is part of what we are trying to work on with provinces to focus on priorities - such as water, sanitation and fencing - that are core and have to be done. So we are mindful of that and are trying to work very closely with provinces to rationalise and make sure that we can save funding for these priorities. Thank you.
