They say the 50% requirement does not address the root cause of inequality in South Africa. One wonders why Madam Zille romantically kissed Madam Agang. [Laughter.] It is that they were staging an act of promoting gender equality according to their understanding of it. [Interjections.] This is a challenge to us as the ANC to publicly educate, teach, and continue to teach, the DA on what the principle of 50% stands for. It stands for the active participation of women in decision-making bodies, not romantic kisses on television. [Laughter.] [Interjections.]

The hon Lamoela questioned the constitutionality and feasibility of the Bill. You suggest that the Bill overrides the Commission for Gender Equality's mandate and duplicates it. [Interjections.] You also say that 37 of the 41 submissions emphasised issues of duplication; that the legislation which has already been adopted has not been implemented, and this includes that on domestic violence; and that this Bill benefits the elite and the wealthy. [Interjections.] HON MEMBERS: How? How?
