Speaker, I thank the hon Sosibo for the statement that she made on the Lonmin issue. The initiative at Lonmin is, of course, a direct response to the presidential request to improve living conditions in the greater Rustenburg area.
For us, this is quite an exciting matter that has been promted by Lonmin. The progress that has been made so far will assist in meeting all the challenges of integration and many other related human settlements matters in that area. We think it is an important step that has been taken by Lonmin, of donating land on the journey of contributing to the wellbeing of many of those needy communities and, in particular, Lonmin's employees.
This donation of land forms part of our commitment to working very closely with all the stakeholders in the development of integrated human settlement programmes for communities. We are very pleased that Lonmin has taken the lead in making this donation of land. We urge and challenge all other private sector companies to join hands with the government on our journey, as we strive to correct the wrongs of the past. I thank you, Speaker. [Applause.]
