Madam Deputy Speaker, could I just address you on a particular issue? The DA and other opposition parties have raised before the importance of Ministers being here for statements. We've had here, this afternoon already, a situation arising in which three parties made a statement on the same subject, and this was raised by the hon Deputy Minister.
It is incredible that an issue of such importance is not addressed by the Minister herself here this afternoon. Again, I would make an appeal to you and to the Speaker to try to ensure that when statements do occur in the House, Ministers are present to answer them, particularly when there's something as important as the Eskom matter is at the present time. Thank you. [Applause.]
