IsiZulu:
... angisho nje ngizidlulela ukuthi kuyamangalisa kuyadumaza lokhu okushiwo umhlonishwa udade oqeda ukusuka la ngoba ekomidini uvumelene nathi kodwa asikho lapho. [Ubuwelewele.]

The advancement of the developmental state model requires amongst other things: Strengthening the public service, this means professionalising the public service for service delivery, build ethical public leadership and fight corruption. It must be independent and impartial and exercise its powers and perform its functions without fear, favour and prejudice, in the interest of the maintenance of effective efficient public service and high standard of ethics in the public service, as the Constitution provides.
The ANC, supports the recommendation of the Portfolio Committee of Public Service Commission, Public Service and Administration, that Ms Zanele Isabel Hlatshwayo in terms of section 196 (8a) of the Constitution be recommended for the hon President to be appointed to serve in the Public Service Commission. May I, just say the important processes that we followed, which all us by the way hon members, we agreed on and was fit and proper, which were before the short-listing, and the understanding of the public service, what does it mean and we agreed.
Secondly, the criteria of short-listing in terms of the Chapter 10 of the Constitution, what is required, we all agreed, which was before the short- listing. The nine candidates that were short-listed, all of us we agreed on that. That means all the candidates that were short- listed were fit and proper. Thirdly was the issue - we did receive preliminary vetting results, which we were waiting for the final one, which the President will receive in due course, after this process. I must say its quiet disturbing and alarming what hon members behaving as if we didn't look at those things, we didn't agree on that.
Parliament and the ANC as the ruling and leading party in government, we reaffirm here and today our commitment, work, support, empower and make sure that all the recommendations that are put before the committee and Parliament by the Public Service Commission, is strengthening our oversight role as the public representatives. Let us take this opportunity so that we don't waste time, because I have alluded on three major processes which are critical that we followed and also we are not dealing with a person, but I must say...
