House Chair, thank you, Minister, for the detailed report and your answer to that question. My question is this. According to a parliamentary reply on the Child Protection Register, the register has proven to be utterly and totally dysfunctional. It only reflects a single name and that one single entry has cost the taxpayers a whopping R1,7 million. So, for R1,7 million the country is now aware of the identity of a single person deemed incompetent to be working with children.
Minister, this is a derogation of your responsibility to protect the children of South Africa. So, perhaps you could enlighten this House as to what it is you intend to do about it. If nothing, then how soon can that R1,7 million be back in the country's coffers? Thank you. [Applause.]
