Mr Speaker, thank you to the Deputy President. It is interesting to note what he has quoted; what we have in place in terms of a regulatory framework. However, the Auditor-General recently reported on an increase in instances of insider trading involving senior officials trading with government departments and other public entities. On this side of the House, we believe, as Cope, that political leaders should lead by example and should stop this trend.
Does the Deputy President agree that the apparent irregular awarding of tenders in Limpopo to Mr Julius Malema of the ANC, as well as the shares that the governing party holds in the company that will supply boilers to the new Eskom power stations, is setting the wrong trend, and does he not believe it could border on promoting corrupt activities? Thank you. [Applause.] [Laughter.]
