Chairperson, it is government's position, as well as a policy position, that when new buildings are constructed, departments should make sure that these buildings will be accessible to people with disabilities.
This also applies to old buildings. It is necessary to modernise our buildings to meet the required standards, so that a building, as a structure, should not in itself become a deterrent to people with disabilities.
I think the Ficksburg border post will have to respond accordingly to this issue. Thank you.
