Hon Deputy Speaker, Minister, it appears that the three sphere government has passed its sell-by date. I do not think we are achieving the desired
result that we want out of the system. A great challenge is at local level, there is no doubt about that. What is government's position in terms of attempting to make it make a two tier government, district and national level, so that your supply chain processes will now go district level, cutting the costs and more money being available for delivery of services on the ground? Thank you.
The MINISTER OF CO-OPERATIVE GOVERNANCE AND TRADITIONAL
AFFAIRS: that is a very interesting question but it does not arise from everything we have said so far. What I can say to you is that at the moment we have three spheres and that is what we are working with. If there is a need for two tiers, that is a different discussion. It will mean, a constitutional amendment, for now we are working with what we have. Thank you.

Ngiyabonga Mhlonishwa lapho ngaphambili, Ngqongqoshe, okwami la ngifuna ukubuza. Ngiyajabula ngoba usulapha kuloMnyango wakwa- Cogta. Kunalento ekhona ikakhulukazi endaweni zasemakhaya la kuphethe izinduna khona namakhosi uthola ukuthi uma kuza intuthuko,
amakhosi nezinduna abazi lutho ukuthi yimalini eyisabelo salowo mklamo nokuthi uzoqala nini futhi uzogcina nini. Babona nje ngogandaganda. Uma kufuneka abaphathi bezokuxhumana uthola ukuthi bazofika kanye naleyo nkontileka. Kanjalo nabantu bomphakathi akukho noyedwa ozoqashwa. Okubuhlungu manje uma sebehambile abantu benkontileka abantu bendawo baqhamuka sebebuza eNkosini noma eNduneni.
Ngifuna ukubuza kuwena njengoba sisuka nawe kulezi zinto, uyazazi. Laba bantu bashiya indawo bengaqedile njengomgwaqo osuka kwamaPhumulo ohamba udlule ebholohweni uyoxhuma phezulu kwaMadundube. Emshane kuyimanje izingane zesikole azihambi futhi nomphakathi unenkinga. Ngifuna ukwazi ukuthi izinduna namakhosi nizozamukela nini zibe yingxenye yentuthuko emphakathini. Nabo nibanike amafowuni njengamakhansela lawa enu adla imali. Ngicela impendulo eqondile ngqo. [Ihlombe.
