Madam Deputy Chairperson, with your permission, I'd like to come back later to the public servants' strike.
I'd like to deal with the matter that was raised by the DA, because it is very difficult for me to understand what is it that they want. You see, yesterday the President pointed out that more than 70% of these specialists in the Western Cape hospitals are white. Now do you want him to tell the Western Cape government to chase those whites away? Sir, what do you want, because you say he must not interfere? [Interjections.]
Order! Order, hon members!
No, no, just be clear on what you are asking for, because clarity of mind will help you. The second thing is that I thought the DA was the biggest supporter of federalism, but now they are saying that the President must go and impose on the Western Cape government. That can't be correct. That really can't be correct. [Interjections.]
No, that's how policy works. I'm not talking about us, but about the question that was raised.
So, let me make this very clear again: It is only the DA that has the capacity to decide that somebody is suitable for the post and not the panel that is supposed to interview the candidates. Maybe you know that the candidate that has applied for the job is more suitable. We will find out after the panel has sat and made the decision.
Lastly, let me repeat again and again and again: The Constitution demands of us that we must transform all of South African society. And that transformation is going to continue to take place, whatever you say. [Applause.]
