Speaker, the EFF rejects this scam of a R20 per hour wage Bill!
Declarations of vote:
Speaker, the Democratic Alliance hereby supports the amendments despite the embarrassment having to amend legislation within one month of having it being passed by our Parliament. Our hon Minister Oliphant has been so hellbent on rushing a national minimum wage through the processes and that the legal advisors to the Minister, legal advisors to Parliament and legal advisor to the Department of labour, all missed the obvious typographical error costing our Parliament enormous amount of time, money and effort.
The Minister boated out of the starting blocks to ensure that negative legislation was passed. She appeared to be like a wild mustang in open plans. [Laughter.] Minister "Mustang Sally" Oliphant should be ashamed that you are standing here today to correct an obvious error ... [Interjections.]
