House Chairperson ... [Interjections.] Ours is about the creation of a united South Africa, where women and young people, the poor and the rich people, where people of all different races shall live together! We cannot wake up today and realise that we need one South Africa; we knew that way long before until South Africa was divided as a result of the introduction of white supremacy legislation and so forth. That divided South Africa!
Yet, today in these elections campaigns, we are being told that we need one South Africa. It has always been the position of the ANC. Before I sit, hon House Chair, may I take the opportunity to reprimand hon members who are very hypocritical when they ascend the podium? Hon Michalakis speaks about the international role that we play and what we have not done, as well as what we have done with China.
However, what he is not telling us is that we don't want to be like Greece. Greece committed to a point wherein it collapsed its own economy, and he is an economist. He wants to be smart with us but he knows what happened in Greece! He knows as a result of what Britain is grappling with today, and what the problems are! He is not telling us what the US is trying to do through the UN in Venezuela is wrong!
He is not telling us that what Israel is doing against the ... Palestine is wrong! [Interjections.] [Applause.] He is not telling us! He is not supporting that, but here he wants to come and grandstand as if he is a human rights activist. No, he is not! How many human right abuses has the United States for instance committed, undermining the United Nations Declarations and Resolutions? [Time expired.] Thank you very much. [Applause.]
Debate concluded.
