Hon Speaker, hon President, the Western Cape is your province. However, it is not the point that I am raising.
Hon President, it is really unfortunate that every time the name of the Guptas pops up, your name is linked with it.
However, in this instance, I just want to find out from you whether you will instruct the National Treasury or any other institution of government to investigate the following. I was in Vrede at Krynaauwslust farm. The farm is about 4 400 ha big and it has been given by the Free State government to Estina (Pty) Ltd - a company linked to the Guptas - for nothing, on a free lease. They are also going to get R500 million to run the farm, and on top of that they have the right to use the farm to get loans. If they cannot pay, the farm can be taken over by the bank.
My question is very simple. Mr President, are you prepared to instruct the National Treasury or any other investigation unit to investigate this particular procurement of the farm? The farm has been handed over to these people, the Guptas, who by the way have never been previously disadvantaged in this country. The premier cannot investigate because he is also involved.
