Chair, I understand that question very well. Sometimes upgrading goes hand-in-hand with electrification. I just want to inform this House that when we talk about the Thokoza Hostel, we are not talking about a structure which looks like this House; it's heart- rending!
Ka Sesotho ba re ke ntho ya masisapelo. Ho bohloko ho ya moo, ho bohloko! Ntate Buthelezi o a e tseba ntho ena. Ke ntho e thata. [In Sesotho they say it is heart-rending. It is painful to go there, painful indeed! The hon Buthelezi knows about this thing. It is a very difficult thing.]
We, therefore, have a problem, a very serious problem. Hon member, you are aware of what is happening there. If you start upgrading, it is going to take a long time; so if this electrification is going to happen, it must happen. They have to have lights, they must have warm water, and they must be able to cook for their children.
We are doing it in such a way that it addresses the immediate issues of the people, otherwise, if we subject them to the total upgrading of the hostel, it will be the long haul I spoke about. We are doing this out of sensitivity to the people. Thank you. [Applause.]
