Thank you, hon Minister, for the response. My question is: When will the commission be reviewing the remuneration of teachers and have workers release their results to the public? You gave the response in part, but forgot to mention when that would occur?

Ha se komishene e thehilweng ke nna; ke komishene e thehilweng ke Mopresidente. Ke batho ba Ofisi ya Presidente ba tla re hlalosetsa ka tsamaiso. Ha e matsohong a ka, jwale ha ke kgone ho o fa karabo. (Translation of Sesotho paragraph follows.)
[The MINISTER OF BASIC EDUCATION: Hon Mashishi, I have indicated that this is the Presidential Remuneration Commission. Just like you, I will also be awaiting the finalisation of the process. The commission was not established by me but by the President. Officials in the President's Office will explain the process to us. The fact that I am not in charge of the process makes it impossible for me to respond to your question.]
Measures to discourage patriarchal practices that are gender oppressive and abusive
69. Mr D W Mavunda (ANC) asked the Minister of Arts and Culture:
In view of the important role that arts, culture and heritage play in nation building and that they are contributors in addressing key economic, social and environmental challenges, what measures has he put in place to discourage all patriarchal practices (details furnished) which are in their nature gender oppressive and abusive to women and children?
