Manana Mutshamaxitulu, swirho swa Huvo, ha khensa ku hoxetela ka n'wina maribye yo simeka mabindzu ya hlanganelo. [Chairperson, members of this House, we thank you for putting up cornerstones to establish co- operatives.]
I want to address hon Alberts. Actually, I'm very fortunate and happy to have met you. The way we relate, I think tells you that black people do not hate white people. The only things that they hate are the wrong things that were done and the wrong things that will be done today. There is a chance here, especially from the white community. With your experience of co-operatives and of farming, this is an opportunity to stretch out your hand, and hold that of the emerging farmer and walk the journey with him or her. [Applause.] This is the opportunity to help build co-operatives. You can pride yourselves and say, we did not enrich one person, but we assisted many black people to go up the ladder.
From my left side, I wish you can take this seriously. UBab' uMfundisi [Reverend], who knows, maybe this is the character of ubufundisi [priesthood]. You may find that your people are able to go into that passage as we all struggle to go to heaven. You do have that chance. Form co-operatives and help black people, and that door will be opened.
I want to thank all the speakers that spoke. Hon Mfundisi [Reverend], when you spoke, I nearly said that you should come and sit on this side. You must explore if you cannot come to this side of the ANC. Your language sounds as if you are not far from coming to the ANC.
Tatana Dikobo, hi khensile. Hi khensa marito yo aka. [Thank you, Mr Dikobo. We thank you for the constructive words.]
The speaker from the ACDP repeated what I implied just now, that the rich history of South Africa in co-operatives and small, medium and micro entreprises, SMMEs, must not be lost. This is an opportunity. I repeat to all, especially on the left, have your chance and save South Africa. This chance doesn't come many times. Please, grab it and help co-operatives. [Applause.]
Debate concluded.
