I really feel very bad about what has just been said because it happens mostly in rural areas. As I have told you, time and again systems are down and the answer is one - broadband. I suffered the same when I was in Education where you schools are not connected because broadband is not enough. Then I went to Health where clinics are not connected all around the country because of broadband in rural areas. Then I am in Home Affairs and some offices are down because of broadband.
We are really working around the clock with SITA. We are made to understand that SITA is trying to work with MTN on resolving this problem and we are eagerly waiting for the results. I can assure you, I would like to have heard the results by yesterday because when the system is down, Home Affairs officials just sit.
Last week there was a story of a Home Affairs official whom we are supposed to punish because he was using his phone during office hours and it went viral and people were angry. When we investigate we found that the poor official was phoning because the system was down; there was no work and he thought in the meantime he should be phoning. We do not know if it was a social call or phoning somebody for help but the fact is that there was no work at that time because the system was down. It is a special problem of rural areas. We are working around the clock to try and resolve it. Thank you.
