Hon Speaker, hon Deputy President, hon Ministers, Deputy Ministers, hon members and, most importantly, the South African people, I firstly want to state that the ANC supports this Bill. We support this Bill today and we will support it in the future.
I can't talk for all parties in this House, as some parties change their minds after they have supported Bills. As Mr Tony Leon recently wrote:
The DA's flip-flop on employment equity suggests that, whatever its other lapses, the ANC now comprehensively dominates the intellectual space and defines terms of the debate within it.
[Applause.]
Today, before this Fourth Parliament and before South Africa... [Interjections.]
