Thank you for that question, hon member. I think there also has to be an appreciation of the challenges that are faced by the state in general when it comes to financial resources and what can be given to recipients. I wish it were dependent on me as a Minister of Social Development. I definitely would not have them make those kinds of choices.
But the bottom line is that, as a country and as a nation, we have to realise that we are going through a terrible financial crisis and we therefore need to do the best we can. I would hate for them to have to make that choice. But, unfortunately for me, there is
not much we can do about it. All that we can do is make sure that the money we do have covers as much as it possibly can. It is not a choice that is ideal but it is the solution we had to come to given the current financial situation. Thank you.
