Deputy Speaker, the ID would also like to add its voice to the condemnation of the appalling behaviour of some members of the SANDF during yesterday's illegal march to the Union Buildings.
This kind of behaviour by some of our national servicemen is a real embarrassment to our country, to the extent that one national newspaper has now branded our defence force a "national disgrace force". The ID congratulates the Defence Minister for her decisive action in suspending, without pay, those soldiers involved in the illegal march, and encourages the Minister to make sure that every one of them is brought to book for their atrocious conduct. I thank you.
