Chairperson, it is unfair to say to a Minister who has been in the post for three months ... [Interjections.] Yes, it is unfair. We are grappling here with a very serious problem that is confronting all of us. I have indicated that we will be getting in touch with the banking sector. You are also aware that I've been getting in touch with beneficiaries by and large as far as Diepsloot and the N2 here are concerned. Last week we were in the Eastern Cape - Buffalo City. We are even going to the hostels in Gauteng and KwaZulu-Natal to deal with this problem. We have standing meetings with the banking sector. We are not just meeting people on a one-on-one basis. You will be privy to those meetings.
Hon member, I invite you to come to those meetings as well, because they will be open at the end of the day, so that you can see what it is that they would like to table before us and what it is that we are going to be tabling in front of them. There are many schemes that you can put forward, but you must be ever mindful of the fact that you don't force the banks. You can't do that. You bring them on board. The Minister of Higher Education, under the banner of the Communist Party, spoke with the banks in the past and that is how we came to have Mzansi banking, which became an all-round success. [Applause.]
So, in this particular case, I cannot table here the contents or the agenda of the meeting we are going to hold with them. We will hold that meeting. We will hold them accountable to certain guidelines, measures and targets. But this must be a discussion of adults, of people who are all engaged in trying to find a common solution to the problem that is common to all of us here. [Applause.]
