With respect to the matter of corruption in the police service, again I would repeat, the majority of policemen and policewomen in our country are honest, hardworking persons who are trying to do their best to address crime in our country. It is a minority that are corrupt and it is important that we acknowledge that there are policemen and policewomen who do their jobs properly, and we thank them for their service to the nation. We also say to the Minister of Safety and Security that certainly those who are corrupt or do not perform at their jobs as they should must most certainly be thrown out of the police service.
We certainly would agree that public enterprises and the various parastatals are important institutions for the economy of South Africa. While we are not aware of mouldy food and so on, we would say we acknowledge that SAA continues to win international prizes both for safety as well as for service. And therefore I think if the hon member has been served a meal with fungus I encourage him to write to the CEO of SAA to indicate his complaint; but we do know that South African Airways is one of the best airlines in the world.
The housing delivery programme of government both in Langa and in Pennyville in Soweto, confirms the conviction of the Minister of Housing to ensure that our people have proper shelter in which they live and that the promise of the ANC that all shall have shelter, which is articulated in the Freedom Charter and in our law, must be realised by our government, and we will continue to deliver housing and proper shelter and communities to the people of South Africa.
With regard to the matter of access to land, clearly the situation with respect to land access in South Africa is unacceptable. If we are saying we want, as South Africa, to fight the rise in food prices by producing more we must make sure that our people have access to land. And one of the ways would be to address the matter of expropriation by government in order to give more and more South Africans the opportunity to grow food, to be productive and to be part of supporting our economy. Again, the Bill the hon member of the DA referred to will come before the House for Parliament to debate.
Finally, with regard to local government, we are committed through Project Consolidate, Siyenza Manje and other government initiatives to ensure that we support local government to truly deliver to our people. But again we say those local governments where we have failings tend to be the minority of local governments. In the main, local government is delivering and is making a difference in our country. Thank you.
