Speaker, this is just a desperate attempt. Even Agang, a 0,2% party, in retrospect was much cleverer. They merely scuppered off with their tail between their legs when they realised that this was a desperate attempt.
The voters indicated their confidence in the ANC and in the President in recognition of the ANC's achievements. Even when the hon Maimane was standing here during the debate on the state of the nation address, he could not but acknowledge that we have made incredible strides in this country. Most of our citizens are living with dignity. We have provided houses, education, health and access to land. We are doing this at a rate unprecedented in the world and free. South Africans who voted the ANC into government know that they will do this again and vote us into power in the next five years and every five years thereafter. [Applause.]
Quite frankly, what we have here is a process of Parliament that has become the latest casualty of the opposition stampede for self-promotion. It says something about a Parliament that is gradually being turned into the theatrics which hon Shenge spoke about in his state of the nation address speech, rather than a place established to legislate ... [Interjections.] Speaker, please can you protect me from this noise? [Interjections.]
