Thank you, Chairperson. With regard to the hon DA member on Cosatu violence: we need to condemn violence from all sides. We need not be one-sided when we deal with violence. All sides involved in violence should be condemned, including the DA. However, we must ask the question ... [Interjections.]
I have a point of order, Madam Chair. The DA had a legal march. It was not involved in violence. [Interjections.] The Minister must withdraw that statement.
House Chairperson, that is not a point of order.
That is not a point of order.
We must even ask the question, House Chairperson: Why did a political party march on a trade union on a policy matter? [Interjections.] We must also deal with the issue of the Cosatu members who were injured. Who injured them? Did they injure themselves? [Interjections.] That is why I am saying that we must condemn violence from all sides. [Interjections.]
Lastly, why did the leaders of the DA disappear when what they started turned nasty, including a member here? [Interjections.] Why did they run away? [Interjections.]
In relation to Cope ...
Chairperson, on a point of order: the hon Minister is misleading this House. Helen Zille and Lindiwe Mazibuko gave their speeches at the march ... [Interjections.]
House Chairperson, again, that is not a point of order!
Of course it is a point of order. The Minister is misleading the House.
Hon member, will you please sit down?
And Helen Zille was hit by a brick as well.
Hon member, will you carry on. You have exactly 30 seconds to finish.
Thank you. Kushushu! Xa kushushu kubanjena kakade! [It is hot! This is what you get when it is hot!]
On Cope, everybody should indeed speak out against corruption. But it is important that we speak the facts; not untested allegations. As we speak about that, we must also talk about the legacy of corruption left by some who held that office.
With regard to the delivery of books in Limpopo and the court decision, the Minister of Education, as one of those who are involved in the Limpopo intervention, has said openly that she will not defy a court decision. She is in the process of implementation. The fact of the matter is that we had to clear up a lot of issues there and deal with administration even before we could make any further purchases. Thank you very much. [Applause.]
