Minister, your intervention in my home province the Eastern Cape commenced in March 2011. You provided - just this morning - the NCOP select committee with a very positive spin on what you see as your achievements. However, Minister, you know that since that date - March 2011 - two years ago, you and the Eastern Cape education MEC have had to be forced, by the courts, to provide the most basic schooling needs. High court orders have had to instruct the replacement of unsafe school structures, the appointment of enough teachers, the payment of teachers and the provision of desks. How can it be that, after two-and-a-half years of administration, over R6 million is owed to teachers in arrears salaries, and over 650 000 learners are without serviceable desks? If the officials are working furiously, as you say, can you explain to us and to Eastern Cape learners just why the most basic of requirements require court orders to achieve?
