Deputy Chairperson, my response to the follow-up question asked by hon Lees is in the negative. This will not increase any deaths. Last week on Thursday, I went to visit one of the sites in KwaZulu- Natal, which is a clinic in KwaCaluza in uMgungundlovu, Pietermaritzburg, where a team of doctors from Malaysia were training health personnel. They have invented a simple device which makes this a really painless operation. They insert the device, and it trims exactly where it is supposed to. [Laughter.] The person who is being circumcised keeps the device inserted and after three days or so that particular person is completely healed.
I'm also pleased to share with the House that at the same clinic there was also a delegation from the Eastern Cape sharing experiences and learning this new method. I must say that the method - I myself observed it - is totally painless. A person who is circumcised through this method is able to urinate and go to work, as long as he keeps that little device in for three days or so. Thank you.
