Hon Speaker, I would like to comment on the welcome development with respect to health professionals, which was referred to by the hon member of the ANC. We certainly are determined, as government, to ensure that we provide resources for the increased training of health professionals in South Africa, in particular nurses, auxiliary health support staff, as well as doctors. We are very pleased that the hon member noted the additional resources being provided for such training in the form of bursaries and scholarships.
Secondly, we agree with the hon member from the IFP that the Civil Aviation Authority needs to carry out a full investigation into the airplane crash that occurred in Limpopo, and we extend our condolences to the families that have lost loved ones in this terrible tragedy.
With respect to the calls made by the UN's human rights commissioner regarding Syria, of course we say that all breaches of human rights need to be attended to and that the rights of citizens to participate in free democratic activity must be observed by all countries in the world. This is the position that our government holds and we would attach to that.
We also agree with the ANC that we do need appeals accountability mechanisms that ensure that citizens' rights are upheld while we continue to uphold respect for freedom of expression and media freedom in our country.
Finally, I thought that the Minister of Higher Education and had Training already appointed a person to investigate matters at Walter Sisulu University, as well as made an appointment with respect to the Tshwane University of Technology. I will check the name, but I thought it was Professor Ncayiyana. I check and will be able to provide the hon member of the IFP with information. I know that the Minister of Higher Education and Training is taking this matter very, very seriously.
Re itumela thata Modulasetilo fa re utlwa gore puso ya rona ya Bokone Bophirima e lebeletse gore re thusa batho ba rona jang ka go ba neela dintlo tse di tshwanetseng, re leka go rarabolola mathata a batho ba ba senang dintlo, segolobogolo fa re leba ditorotswana jaaka Koster le Derby.
Re itumela thata fa re bona puso e e tshwerweng ke mme e bile ka mme a tshwara thipa ka fa bogaleng. Ke ene yo o dirang gore batho ba rona ba nne le dintlo tse di ikemetseng tse di dirang gore le bone e nne batho ba ba nang le seriti mme ba ipona ba thusiwa ke puso ya rona ya Aforika borwa ya ANC. Ke a itumela Mmusakgotla. (Translation of Setswana paragraphs follows.)
[We are very happy to hear that the North West government is looking at the way we help our people by providing houses for them as we try to solve homelessness problems, particularly when we look at small towns like Koster and Derby.
We are excited to see a province run by a woman since a woman keeps things intact. It is through her leadership that people have proper houses to restore their dignity and get to realise that our South African government led by the ANC is helping them. Thank you, Speaker.]
That concludes the ministerial responses. I was not inviting you to leave, Minister, I was just saying the responses are finished. [Laughter.]
Speaker, on a point of order: I know that we have two formidable Ministers here, but according to the Rules, we actually have one Minister or a Deputy Minister or a Minister in the same portfolio who can respond to Members' Statements. I believe that it is important for this House that all members, including members of the executive, observe the Rules of the House. Thank you.
I am not sure of that, but I will check the Hansard and come back with a ruling on that issue.
