Hon House Chair, I want to respond to the statement made by the member of the DA that was directed particularly at me. To be precise, the green card system in Worcester was introduced by the sector 4 community police forum. [Interjections.] The error that was made by SAPS locally is that they went along with this and allowed their logo to be used.
My information is that that was withdrawn when the ANC portfolio committee intervened, and everything else from the DA was to deal with the embarrassment. [Interjections.] Let me then say that the point I was making ... [Interjections.]
House Chair, I have a point of order!
Order, hon members! Hon Ollis, take your seat! Hon Davies, can you take your seat while I take the point of order?
House Chair, I think the hon member knows full well that there is no such thing as an ANC portfolio committee. It is the Portfolio Committee on Police. We asked the question - the two DA members and our chairperson equally - of the National Police Commissioner, who admitted that her members were responsible. Please do not swing this! [Interjections.]
Thank you, hon member.
The point I was making is that there is a pattern of exclusion in the affluent suburbs of this particular province. [Interjections.] I gave another example, of Newlands, where the local residents' association, with the support of the councillors, is moving to exclude car guards and replace them by parking meters. So, when you point a finger at wards that are run by the ANC, remember there are three fingers pointing back ... [Interjections.]
Order, hon members! Order!
... at the cesspit of racism in the wards that are your solid base. What I think the DA needs is not a green card but a red card. Thank you. [Applause.]
Hon members, it is important, even when we are interjecting, that we do so in such a way that we do not drown one another out so that we can hear what each one of us is saying. [Interjections.]
Three fingers pointing at you!
