Chair, I think my colleagues from the opposition are ignorant of the fact that if we take the Magistrates' Commission, it is lily-white and men only. That is the first problem. Regarding the commission, if we take what has been presented to us today here in Parliament, only black magistrates have been targeted. If you go to all the magistrates' courts, they are run, in most cases, by white males who suppress certain issues and focus only on specific things. Criminal matters are dealt with by blacks. They deal with the rest because they are making money out of doing so. Now, this is a challenge because we need to transform this area. The judges themselves are from the old order and in most cases they are white males who suppress this particular process, because they are protecting the DA. That is why they run to court for everything. We support the Vote. Thank you, Chair. [Interjections.] [Applause.]
Vote agreed to (Democratic Alliance and Independent Democrats dissenting).
