House Chairperson, my response is directed to the shadow deputy minister of the DA, Madam Wenger, on the issue that she has raised around the informal settlements in Ekurhuleni. Let's put it in context: Ekurhuleni has the highest number of informal settlements in South Africa in a metro.
When we look at the issue that has been raised, she is talking about these issues whilst, when she was the Mayor of the Vaal Local Municipality in Midvaal, there is an informal settlement that is an eyesore there that she did nothing about, that she never provided services for. [Interjections.] In fact, they didn't even want that informal settlement. Now we are saying that she must stop throwing stones when she lives in a glass house, because the track record of the member is not assisting us.
To conclude, Chairperson, we are engaging with the metro of Ekurhuleni because this matter is beyond them. We are talking with them to look, as government, at a national and provincial level of assisting. We will brief her on the outcome. Thank you. [Applause.]
