Chairperson, I thank the hon Minister for her response. We, in this House, are glad that at last there is a Ministry that will focus on women, children and people with disabilities. But by your own admission, Madam Minister, I think the situation is far from satisfactory because 0,2% and 0,24% doesn't give us a whiff of a pass, or even an average performance.
We trust that, in looking at this matter seriously, your department give priority to it, and will also look at the question of facilities. In this House we have been raising the issue of the lack of facilities; not only for officials, but for people with disabilities who go to government departments and buildings, Home Affairs, and so on. This is another area, I think, which your department has got to look into. Thank you.
The MINISTER OF WOMEN, YOUTH, CHILDREN AND PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES: Thank you, hon member, for the statement. I don't believe it's a question but a statement that supports the programme of government in ensuring that we achieve the targets that we have set ourselves.
However, I want to emphasise that it is not the responsibility of government alone; it is the responsibility of all of us as South Africans to ensure that people with disabilities access the workplace and are also part of the mainstream economy. So, all of us have got that kind of responsibility to ensure that we achieve those programmes. Thank you very much.
