Chairperson, I would like to congratulate the hon Minister on his appointment. Minister, included in the houses which you have mentioned to us today in the House must be those houses that were allocated to the sacked Ministers, Mahlangu-Nkabinde and the honourable Shiceka. [Laughter.]
Since being fired from Cabinet, both have reverted to being ordinary members of this House. Can the Minister confirm that these former Ministers have been given three months to vacate their ministerial mansions? If this is not the case, can he explain what the situation is? If it is the case, can he explain why they have been given such a long period to vacate? Who will be paying for the accommodation, security and services? Lastly, can he give this House an unequivocal undertaking that no private accommodation will be provided for them at taxpayers' expense? Thank you.
