I will say it again: Since the Western Cape praises itself so much, how does it explain closing GF Jooste Hospital and that it was also prepared to close certain schools. The Western Cape province works by comparing one province with eight provinces. Let me correct my colleague, hon Kopane, who said that the lifespan of people is 56 years - that is not true, my sister. It means you were not present when the MRC and Lancet laboratory told us that the lifespan has increased to 60 years. [Applause.] Therefore, I don't know where you got these statistics that you are quoting. [Interjections.] During the strikes experienced across the country, the Western Cape closed some of the clinics at De Doorns in November 2012. Why did they close these clinics when people needed them the most? Last year the Public Protector discovered a very critical thing. She found out that things at Gugulethu Hospital are not running as smoothly as they are claimed to be. This hospital is filthy; the workers indulge in liquor, but nevertheless ...]
... I support the Budget Vote. Thank you very much. [Applause.]
