Chairperson, in August this year the Minister of Social Development claimed that the reason for her distribution of food parcels some days before the Tlokwe by-election was because of the existence of 17 000 child-headed households in Tlokwe. However, in her reply this week the Minister says that there are only 5 681 child-headed households in the whole province of the North West. [Interjections.]
Can the Deputy Minister, because I see that the Minister is not here, give this House the assurance that none of the adjustments will be used to buy elections in future? [Interjections.]
