First of all, hon Minister, I hope that your provincial departments will assist you to reach that target date of 2014, because you will remember that many schools in the Eastern Cape are still with us. Despite coming up with different, tougher dates, mud schools are not yet totally eradicated in the Eastern Cape.
My follow up question is this: Given the large-scale theft of metal and electrical fixtures as well as plumbing material from schools, has the Minister put in place any additional security measures at schools? This would be to protect the entire new infrastructure that is being rolled out; to ensure that it remains in place and is not simply stolen within the first few months after installation. I thank you.
