Mr Speaker, it is very important that, when a country wants to be successful, it must protect and nurture its various institutions. One of those institutions is the judiciary. We can be proud of our judiciary in South Africa, and the majority of judges have set an impeccable record of good conduct. Without an independent and trustworthy judiciary, there cannot be economic growth in South Africa or any other country.
We must realise that South African policy-makers find themselves at a loss on how to promote economic growth. Perhaps the starting point is to realise how little control we, in fact, have, but we do have control over our various institutions. Let us support and protect the judiciary at all costs. This code of conduct is an attempt to strengthen the judiciary and Cope shall support it. Thank you.
Code of Judicial Conduct accordingly approved.
