Chair, on behalf of the ANC, I would like to express our support for Vote No 17. I think Ntate Mpontshane, who is a member of our committee and active in our deliberations from time to time, is aware that we have the National Skills Development Strategy III, which has turned around the Seta situation. As a committee, we have said to the department that there is a need for clear targets for training in respect of technicians, artisans and scarce skills in our country.
The nine billion that is in the system is geared towards attaining the goals for single co-ordinated issues of corruption that he is raising, as we never had any single allegations that hon Mpontshane advanced to the Minister or the committee, because if there were such allegations, they would have been raised properly and investigated. I think Mpontshane should be very honest and say that, in our committee, such matters had not been raised.
