Deputy Chairperson, the issue raised by hon Worth is whether district municipalities are going to disappear from the face of the earth. In response I would say that the national government has been involved in a process of reviewing the system of governance in South Africa. We call this the macroreorganisation of government. Cabinet is still engaged in this process of review. Therefore no decision has been taken by Cabinet on this matter. Subsequent questions therefore fall away, because the first question implied that we did not have any views on these matters. We can promise you, as South Africans and as Members of Parliament, that once Cabinet has pronounced on these matters, everybody will be taken on board. We want to ensure that you participate in the reorganisation of governance.
This is quite important, because it might require constitutional amendments at certain times and legislative amendments at others. You must therefore be party to this process. Thank you very much, Chairperson.
