The hon Manamela will be delivering the sweep on behalf of the ANC today. I want to say to him to go and read his Youth Day speech. Sadly, it was weaker than the Youth Accord. [Interjections.] But I agree with one line that he said, and I want to quote it. He said:
However, the levels of poverty, unemployment, inequality and economic injustice have worsened since 1994.
Amen! If you wanted to debate the hon Mazibuko, I think you are going to have to go up there and up your game somewhat.
The truth of the matter is - we have seen it over the debates during the Extended Public Committees, EPCs, we have seen it in yesterday's debate, and we have seen it again today - the ANC is fighting for a better yesterday, while the DA is fighting for a better future! [Applause.] Our debate cannot be about refighting the apartheid war. It must be about honouring the past, not living in it, about remembering apartheid, not reinventing it. [Interjections.]
If you have a look at our levels of delivery, the facts show that the DA- led City of Cape Town delivers better quality services ... [Interjections.] ... to more poor people than any metropolitan council in South Africa. It is a fact! [Applause.] A total of 57% of its R18 billion budget is spent on service delivery to poor residents. The ANC talks about the better life for all; the DA delivers the better life for all. [Applause.] Look at you! Look at what has become of this mighty ANC! This was the party of Sisulu, the party of Luthuli, and the party of Tambo, people able to debate and throw ideas around. Nowadays, the only things that your party is capable of throwing around are personal insults and human waste. I thank you, Speaker. [Applause.]
