Thank you, Chairperson. I think if we are to sit and make claims in this House, we must be careful of the truth coming out, because ...
Hon uTrollip ... hon Trollip thinks that he can utter words in this House but does not think that in the House there are people who would know who Charles Benjamin Trollip is; who William Trollip is; who Alfred James Trollip is, the grandfather of Senator A E Trollip and Justice W H Trollip. These things are known to us, sir. [Interjections.] [Applause.] Therefore, I want to inform you that traditional leaders seated in this House were stripped of their land. Their forefathers died in battles fighting over the dispossession of their land. Their families were forced to leave their homes. AmaTshawe, the Xhosas, were murdered in large numbers by the former Colonel John Graham. Today, we have a town named after him. Those Xhosas have been dispossessed of their land. Their people were killed. And today, we do not want to speak about that history! [Interjections.] Today, we do not want to speak about that history! We must not be selective with the history that we tell, but we must tell the history of how the people of South Africa were dispossessed of their land. [Interjections.] [Applause.]
