Chairperson, it is not surprising that the Western Cape legislature will vote against this Bill because if one looks at the Western Cape legislature, it's all men. Let us remind the DA that in 1954 Verwoerd said that girls should not be sent to school. [Interjections.]
That is how we grew up and today, because of what the ANC has put forward, and because of the ANC - as the hon Mabe has said - we are fourth in the world. It is not because of other parties, but because of the ANC, which recognises that women should be there. [Applause.]
We are saying that it does not have to apply to Parliament only. We support this and say that it must be everywhere. Fifty per cent - phambili! [forward!]
HON MEMBERS: Phambili! [Forward!]
