Not to disappoint the hon Ellis, it is true that most of what was said from the opposition benches, we agree with completely. Misconduct on hospital floors is something that we condemn very seriously, whether it is in the context of a strike or whether it is in the general course of events. So, we associate ourselves with the concerns that were expressed there.
It is very pleasing to hear a member of Cope praising the Hawks, because remember how members from the other side of the House were telling us how the dissolution and restructuring of the criminal justice system was going to lead to all kinds of terrible things. I think that with you, we share the pleasure and commend the Hawks for the actions that they have taken in arresting people who are corrupt, and this campaign against all forms of corruption, regardless of who might be corrupt, should certainly continue.
Then also, we commend the DA in the Western Cape for achieving a good audit, a good audit outcome. [Applause.] That is good, and we all need to seek to achieve clean audits. However, as the member correctly said, clean governance is not a guarantee of transformation and of addressing the critical dimensions. There is a great deal of smugness about the Western Cape and about the Western Cape government, but let us never forget that in terms of many of the social indicators in South Africa, the Western Cape is amongst the most unequal provinces. So, there is clean governance, yes, and we salute that and commend it but, at the same time, let us ensure that there can't be smugness, as there often is on that side in terms of real transformation that brings real change to the great majority of extremely poor people living in this province. [Applause.]
