Deputy Speaker, the ANC supports the Vote on Higher Education and Training. In fact, we support it because between the Departments of Higher Education and Training and Basic Education, this government, led by our President, is in fact putting at least 20% to 23% of the national fiscus into education.
We all know that more money can be given in terms of universities and colleges, etc, but the reality is that with the money that's there now, there is a balance between that and support for the Seta interventions. And we know there were problems with at least five of the Setas.
Therefore, as a committee, we indicated that that needs to be strengthened. [Interjections.] The Minister and the department are busy with that. We are also, for example, supporting the intervention in expansion, both on infrastructure development and also on the quality of interventions in the FET training environment.
Therefore, as the ANC, both in the committee and in the House here, we support it.
It is, in fact, a disgrace for the DA not to support investment in education in this particular case. Thank you. [Interjections.] [Applause.]
