Hon Speaker, I am sure the Minister of Cogta will be able to talk about the appointment of people in those municipalities. What am I doing? In our support to those municipalities, we have set up teams that are called rapid response teams. Amongst these teams, there are members who are engineers, technicians, and people who are administratively clued up in order for them to support those municipalities so that there are responses to the biggest challenges that we are facing continuously where people still do not have access to water.
We are mindful of that challenge. It is not something that we think should stay as it is, but it is also a problem that is not insurmountable. We are working with those municipalities on a daily basis. Of course, we must also acknowledge that there are some areas, in those municipalities, where our own infrastructure is badly worn out and very old. The funds are so limited as well, which is something that we must consider dealing with.
I am happy that, through the PICC, the programme that our President is leading, we are working with Cogta and other departments in relation to ensuring that we actually assist those municipalities, either financially, resources-wise, skills-wise and so forth, in order to be able to capacitate them adequately for them to function properly and supply people with water, as hon member Kganare is saying. Thank you.
