    Hon Speaker, I just want to respond briefly to two statements. The hon member of the IFP should please not come and politicise whatever tensions and conflicts there are in our institutions. We must aim to support processes that will ensure that we minimise conflict between students and management in our institutions.

    That is really cheap politicking, and I am not even sure whether you are aware of the details. You just want to appear to be politically correct. However, we don't blame you. [Interjections.]

    UNGQONGQOSHE WEZEMFUNDO EPHAKEME KANYE NOKUQEQESHA: Umbutho ovele usushonelwe yilanga wenza njalo ngoba lishonile ilanga eNkatheni njengoba sasishilo.

    Okwesibili, sasho sathi uma kuwa umbuso wobandlululo neNkatha nayo iyoya ethuneni njengombuso wobandlululo. Yileyo inkinga yenu. [Ubuwelewele.] (Translation of isiZulu paragraph follows.)

    [The MINISTER OF HIGHER EDUCATION AND TRAINING: That is the tendency of a political party that has obviously fallen out of favour with the voters. The IFP has fallen out of favour with the voters, as we have warned before.

    Secondly, we also stated that when the apartheid government went down, the IFP would also be buried, like the apartheid government. That is your problem. [Interjections.]]

    Thirdly, hon Speaker, hon Meshoe mustn't come here and pretend to be neutral on the Palestinian question.

    At the heart of the problem in that part of the Middle East is the right of the Palestinian people to national self-determination and independence. Until or unless that issue is addressed, there won't be peace in the Middle East. We do support a two-state solution based on the borders prior to 1967.

    Rev Meshoe, if you are serious, you must condemn the following. Join us in condemning the building of apartheid walls on Palestinian land, ... [Applause.] ... built by the way by a funder of the DA. We must also condemn the consistent violation of UN resolutions on the Palestinian question, we must condemn the apartheid rezoning of Palestinian land, and we must condemn the aggressive expansion of Israeli settlements into Palestinian territory. Don't come here and pretend to be actually neutral on this question. Thank you, Speaker. [Time expired.] [Applause.]
