Are you lost?]
You see, hon Mnguni complaints about - I don't know how many millions were spent on travel - ...
Baba, andisokuze ndiqabele imbongolo ... [Sir, I will never ride a donkey ...]
... to go and create jobs through the EPWP. Ndiza kuhamba ngebhaloni. [Kwaqhwatywa.] [I will travel by plane. [Applause.]
With regard to the issue of Marievale, hon Mahlangu, I see that when Mr Blanch retired from politics in Parliament he left you with a legacy. [Laughter.]
Ukuphethe kanzima ... [It is not easy ...]
... under Marievale. You know, what he didn't tell you is that he and I went to Marievale. "Unombuzo" [He has a question...] every five minutes about Marievale. What's the problem with Marievale? Do you want to go and play golf on a golf course? I can invite you; it's not my golf course; I didn't build it. However, it's not true about Marievale.
You see, we must understand some of these functions of Public Works. Marievale is under the Department of Defence and Military Veterans. If they decide that they want to go ahead like Lephalale ... We've just refurbished Lephalale. We sorted out the sewerage systems which you complained about in Marievale. If the Department of Defence and Military Veterans wants us to do that, we will gladly do it. We explained that to Mr Blanch. He is not a member anymore, but he was honourable then and I hope he is still honourable. However, we went there and explained the issue. I think you and I must go there again so that we can help you with that issue, because I can see "iyakuhlupha" [that it concerns you.] [Laughter.]
I covered some of the issues that have been addressed at a very high level in my speech. I get a sense that maybe, as we interact at committee level, we must certainly make sure that we go into some of the issues raised by members. I want to say to you that the Construction Industry Development Board, CIDB, and the Council for Built Environment, CBE, have done more than they have ever done before in reaching out to communities and talking to contractors.
THE HOUSE CHAIRPERSON (Mr B Skosana): Hon Minister, you need to wrap up.
