Hon Chairperson, hon Minister, hon Deputy Minister, hon members, ladies and gentlemen, good afternoon - or good evening. This government has a programme and we are implementing it. The Deputy Minister was here and outlined everything that this department is doing. It means we are not making up stories. [Interjections.] We are not just giving out words; we are taking action. We are doers. We have already shown this to you. [Interjections.]
Zininzi izinto esizenzileyo. Nifuna ntoni kanye kanye? Kudala kaloku sisebenza nje sisenza izinto ezibonakala. [We have done a lot. What do you want, really? We have done a lot and we have a track record.]
The Minister has also clearly outlined her role in the department.
Musani ukoyika kube ngathi ikhona enye into eza kwenzeka. Iphelele kule uMphathiswa ayithethileyo. [Do not be afraid; there is nothing more to it than what the Minister has indicated.]
Let us also educate you, sisi ... [Interjections.] ... I mean hon member, that the Minister is not giving bailouts to SA Airways, but guarantees. [Interjections.] Let me educate you on what guarantees are. They provide credibility and surety to any deal that the entity has with a client by ensuring that, in the event that the entity is unable to meet its contractual obligation, the state will be liable. [Interjections.] Yes, exactly, it is a guarantee.
