Hon Speaker, what I actually said is not that we will be working with Cogta; we are currently working with Cogta and Treasury, and we have also been working with them in the past. As I have indicated to you, there are some challenges that are referred to, including the capacity of those water boards to manage their own affairs, and also their inability to achieve their mandates.
This is not suggesting that the situation is that bad. I have also illustrated that there are some water boards, especially those that are in dire trouble, where we have intervened. The municipalities have already begun paying back to those boards. So, the repayment sometimes stops and we intervene, and at times it doesn't. The situation is not as bad as we think, but we should really ensure that we work on the electorate, who are actually supposed to be paying for those services.
I did indicate that these are the boards that are mainly operating in areas where you find the poorest of the poor, the indigent. The question is not only about intervening ourselves as a department but to work on ensuring that our people are empowered and are also getting jobs so that they are able to pay for these facilities. Thank you.
