Deputy Speaker, I have said that we have a pledge from the platinum mining industry that they are building 20 000 houses, and from that there are many other pledges that have been coming in. It is coming in dribs and drabs, but the response itself is very, very positive. We are also encouraging Members of Parliament to donate houses to other people. You can afford to do that as well. I thank you. [Applause.] [Laughter.]
