Madam Chair, we, as the EFF, want to put a simple question to the hon Minister: When are they going to stop justifying and rationalising the irrational, that the Justice and Correctional Services department, in its sober mind, decided to release Eugene de Kock, a cold- hearted murderer who acted in defence of a system which was declared worldwide to be a crime against humanity?
Yet, the department and the government of the ANC decided to release such a man, whereas thousands of Azanian People's Liberation Army, Apla, cadres are still languishing in prisons ... [Interjections.] - I don't know about MK - and have been denied bail on a continuous basis. Don't they believe in their own people, in their own justice and their rehabilitation?
