Worth. Deputy Chair, thank you to the Minister for his explanation. I hope I'm not repeating myself. There was a stage in the term of the last Parliament here that there was talk about doing away with district municipalities. I know there are probably some district municipalities that are viable, but I think that, of all municipalities, district municipalities are the most vulnerable because they have such a low-income base. We've got one in the Free State, Gariep, which is made up of three municipalities, and the district municipality just survives on the money it gets from central government, while the work is actually done by these three municipalities. I hope this is going to be given priority, that they rather be done away with and the councillors be put into various municipalities. That is one aspect.
The other one very much concerns the operations of this House in terms of section 139 where a municipality is put under administration. What does the hon Minister feel about the three months? We have found in the past that we would go and put a municipality under administration for three months. Then it would start coming right again, only for it to collapse again six months later, or there would be further problems. Could we in the context of this question just have the Minister's thoughts on that? Thank you very much.
