Chair, I can confidently inform the House that, in terms of the 50 schools, I have been receiving progress reports. They are on track. We have even started planning for the next phase of the 100 schools that we were supposed to do, not only in the Eastern Cape this time, but nationally. The plans are at quite an advanced stage.
We are quite aware and conscious of the fact that there are reports of price collusion, overpricing of schools and all sorts of problems. We have appointed an independent engineering and consulting company to help us in managing that. Furthermore, we have established a unit with professionals, civil engineers and quantity surveyors to help us manage and monitor what could be the price inflation. With regard to the 50 mud schools, I can assure the member that they are under construction. We are already making plans for the next 100, which is going to be on a national scale and not only in the Eastern Cape.
