Text
I thank the Minister for taking an intervention. I take into account everything that she has outlined and totally understand where she is coming from, but will she agree that just because the state failed to acknowledge those women and their children, just like it failed to look after them, that does not mean that they should not get recognition and acknowledgement because they happen to have passed away? Many of them knew that what was done was wrong. They just had not yet got the state to admit to that.
