Deputy Chairperson, I think all of us will agree that the remarks of the Minister regarding the status of our governance model in South Africa are quite far-reaching, and we are well aware that various bodies and institutions are investigating the possibilities.
The question is specifically regarding the Minister's remark about the number of provinces, the necessity for districts, and the state of local governments. Would the Minister admit that the constitutional and governance model that was agreed to and that has governed us since 1994 is now dysfunctional?
