Chairperson, the number of names in the Child Protection Register is now 22. Yes. [Applause.] Maybe we should thank you for pushing us. But the important thing that we should all know is that 3 672 people have been screened and, out of those people, none have been found to be unsuitable.
One other thing that we should understand is this: The fact that there is a conviction does not necessarily mean automatic placement on the register. After a person has been convicted, a presiding officer must declare that person unsuitable to work with children. It is only then that a name can be placed on the register. We must remember that South Africa is a democratic country and even convicted criminals have rights. To try to ensure that we avoid unnecessary litigation, as has happened before in other countries, it is important for us to follow the law to the letter. Thank you.
