Hon members, before we begin with the motions, allow me to express a word of congratulations to one of our members who, I am informed, is the new leader of the DA in the National Council of Provinces. Based on the outcome of elections held this morning, Mrs Van Lingen has been elected as the leader of the DA in the NCOP. [Applause.]
HON MEMBERS: Hoor, Hoor! [Hear, Hear!] [Interjections.]] Malibongwe! [Praise!] [Laughter.]
