Thank you, Deputy President. Bearing your comprehensive response in mind, what is the executive doing when local governments fail to implement the Constitution in general and the Bill of Rights in particular? An example of this is that in the recent public hearings on service delivery it came to light on two occasions that the trickle system used to deliver water to the poorest of the poor leads, at times, to a situation where there is no water for the Muslim community to perform their ritual washing before prayers.
This community is situated in Mitchells Plain, and it is here where the City of Cape Town puts more emphasis on their income than on the people's right to pray. This is a clear violation of Muslim people's human rights and a violation of the South African Constitution. By doing this, the City of Cape Town has knowingly taken away the rights of the Muslim people. Thank you. [Applause.]
