Chairperson, the Deputy President visited the Northern Cape a few days ago. He gave me a report that
was not pleasing at all - the drought has a devastating effect. We are going to discuss that report more fully to see what interventions can be made. We will also discuss it with the government of the Northern Cape and the premier. We are well aware of the dire situation in the Northern Cape that will affect jobs. You were saying 63 000 jobs, but it will also affect a number of livelihoods. So, we are well aware of that.
Afrikaans:
U wil weet wanneer ek dit gaan doen. Ons sal nou eers in die regering mooi praat.
English:
Thereafter, together with the Northern Cape government, we will see what measures that we will be able to put in place. Thank you very much for raising the matter. [Applause.] [Interjections.]
