Deputy Speaker, thank you for recognising me at last. The hon member from the IFP has raised the really important matter of members of the SAPS who are involved in criminal activities. What he forgot to tell this House is that this shows the government's intolerance of any criminal act by anybody or any South African, whether police officer or not, who finds himself or herself on the wrong side of the law. They will be arrested.
These members of the police have been arrested precisely because of that. We should take this opportunity to thank members of the SAPS who have dedicated themselves to the fight against crime, including arresting their colleagues. Thank you very much.
No, there were six responses, which is the maximum number of responses. I'm terribly sorry. [Interjections.]
On a point of order, Deputy Speaker, I'm just dreadfully concerned that Minister Pandor never had anything to say today. It's most unusual and I hope she's OK. [Laughter.] [Interjections.]
No, you're really out of order. [Interjections.]
Is she well? I would like to wish her well.
Hon Ellis, you are not chairing this meeting! [Laughter.]
