It is my maiden
speech. [Laughter.] One of the things I have learnt is that one of the easiest responsibilities is to howl when you have no responsibility to make things work despite being invited to make a positive contribution. That is wasted time by many in the opposition. Tomorrow we will be tabling a debate on energy which will explain in details the separation of mining and petroleum. The DA has obsession about labour costs and not based on comparative studies. You have not compared wages of mineworkers in South Africa and in Australia. You were just saying it is high cost because you think so. Please do a research. I did it and you must go and read it because you have not done yet.
DA talks about the price of gold having been overtaken by Ghana without doing an analysis of the nature of the geological configuration of the two countries and the time of mining in
South Africa compared to Ghana. Therefore, you are doing what is called the effect of recent.
