And so the time has finally come for us to break at the end of the year. Allow me to thank each one of the Chief Whips of all the different political parties for their understanding, camaraderie and friendship as I took on my new role. I want to especially thank the ANC's Chief Whip and the ANC's Deputy Chief Whip. I want to thank you for the chats in your office, for our meetings and the way you helped me find my feet and navigate my job as I found my style of doing things. Your kindness has been overwhelming.
