Minister, before you respond, may I remind you of Rule 142(7).
The MINISTER OF CO-OPERATIVE GOVERNANCE AND TRADITIONAL
AFFAIRS: Chair, yes, there is discussion taking place between us and Treasury. However, at the end of the day, Treasury has the purse and they can withhold it or give it. We are discussing it with them, precisely, for the reasons that you have given. It is almost the festive season and people, even those who are working, will be on holiday and it will be a pity if they cannot get the very basic services. Thank you.
