I wish to recognise the presence of the Mandela and Sisulu families in our midst, in the gallery. Thank you for being with us. I am honoured to have you here today. I also wish to recognise the presence of the Acting Chief Justice, Judge Dikgang Moseneke, and the hon Loide Kasingo, the third vice president of the Pan-African Parliament. I further wish to recognise the presence of struggle veterans and representatives of the various religious formations and members of the public in the gallery. I now wish to invite the hon Deputy President of the Republic of South Africa to address this Joint Sitting. [Applause.]
