00:01:00 --> 00:01:03
			I tell you, I Found him that
Thursday morning, the 16th of
		
00:01:03 --> 00:01:07
			June. He was here by 12 o'clock.
We got in contact with him two
		
00:01:07 --> 00:01:12
			o'clock he was on site, and
immediately he said, This malava
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:17
			Primary School is a priority. And
I mean, it took him five days,
		
00:01:18 --> 00:01:21
			five days, which the government
takes seven years to do. He did in
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:27
			five days. And here we got a ball,
I mean. And as I said, Now this I
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:33
			mean, Doctor Suleiman's goal was
to reach the people. And we have
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:36
			our children coming from the
townships. We have our extensions,
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:41
			our informal settlements. So his
goal was that each child takes a
		
00:01:41 --> 00:01:46
			five liter water home on a daily
basis, and this is what we eat in
		
00:01:46 --> 00:01:51
			doing the children in my class,
I've got a lower ability class, so
		
00:01:51 --> 00:01:55
			when there's no water, we actually
have a problem, especially as Sir
		
00:01:55 --> 00:01:59
			mentioned, when it comes to the
toilets, then they're unable to
		
00:01:59 --> 00:02:03
			flush, washing their hands,
they're unable to do that, so we
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:08
			have to now put little containers
of water in each block so the
		
00:02:08 --> 00:02:11
			children can use that. But then
again, in the classes, we also
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:15
			talking to them about how
important it is not to waste
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:19
			water, and you know, the
importance of water and how we
		
00:02:19 --> 00:02:22
			having these restrictions now, so
We're trying to educate the
		
00:02:22 --> 00:02:23
			children about that as well.
		
00:02:48 --> 00:02:53
			We're so grateful that if the
givers are coming and giving us
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:53
			water,
		
00:02:55 --> 00:02:56
			there's no water at the moment.
		
00:03:02 --> 00:03:02
			You
