First and foremost, let me congratulate the Speaker and the Deputy Speaker. I think this is a crucial time in our nation and we need a Parliament that will work for our people of South Africa. And therefore I want to urge that from the leadership of this House, we have been entrusted with the most privilege duty our nation could ever ask us to do which is to serve the people of this country. I want to send our congratulations and call upon all of us as members Parliament to say our objective here is to serve the people of this country and we better never fail them at a moment such as this one.
I would also like to say to the Mr Cyril Ramaphosa, this election takes place at a time when 10 million of our people are unemployed. It takes place at a time where our citizens are feeling unsafe. It takes place at a time where our young people need to get through school. You sir, have been entrusted with a great privilege of leading our nation at such a time as this. I want to say from our party and from me personally, I wish you great success.

And I wish to say to you that when the decisions that you take are for the interest of our nation and for people of this country, we will be the first ones to support you. It is also to say that I know that when those interests are about shielding those who need to take accountability for the time that has come before us, for those who have looted from our nation. I wish to say sir, we will be holding you to account so that those members who have looted from our country actually see jail. Lastly I
wish say Mr Ramaphosa, may this be a season of better collaboration. We may have been opponents; we may have stood on opposite isles but more than anything both of us are proud patriots of our country and have been elected to serve our people and therefore may it be a turn where in this 6th Parliament, we can collaborate better, serve our people better so that this country can be the country that we destined for it to become. I thank you.
THE SPEAKER: Thank you very much. The hon Malema.
