... on 9 September 1999 in this Parliament, I blew the whistle on the arms deal.
Yesterday, the head of the Hawks, Mr Anwar Dramat, suggested to the Standing Committee on Public Accounts, Scopa, that the investigations into the arms deal must be dropped for financial reasons. How ridiculous! I wonder which politicians instructed him to cover up for them. No amount of money is too big to bring these crooks to book. Some of them are still in government today. [Applause.]
I want to say to the Chairperson of the Portfolio Committee on Communications, hon Vadi, and hon Sikhumbuzo Kholwane and all the members of the portfolio committee, I wish you well in your task; also to the rural development committee, hon Sizane, I wish you well in your task. Aluta continua! I will see you on the streets. Thank you. [Applause.]
