Speaker, on the issue of potholes, I want to request Mr Waters to stop politicising service delivery, because it is us ... [Interjections.]
Order, hon members! Let the speaker be heard.
It is us, through the state of local government reports, who identified these challenges and problems.
The reason I say he must stop politicising this issue is because there are so many potholes in the Western Cape, even in the parts of the other municipalities under the DA. [Interjections.] We have the reports, and we are saying it is important that we focus on the issues at hand and stop politicising, because we are pretending that municipalities under the DA are good municipalities.
Let me move to the issue of cadre deployment. In the Cape Town Metro, you have 18 000 workers. One hundred and thirty of them, at a management level, were employed by the ANC. The last batch that is being removed - hounded - is going at the end of this month. [Interjections.] All bright black people are being removed by the DA, because they want to put their people in these positions. What do you call that? That is cadre deployment. [Applause.]
Speaker, I want to conclude ...
Order, hon members!
I want to conclude by saying that on the issue of the boreholes in Limpopo, we will be able to follow up on that issue, because the ANC, as an organisation, does not support corruption. We want to uproot it wherever it exists. [Interjections.] [Applause.]
In the past, the hon member came forward with the issues and we did attend to them, but now she is playing politics - she is in the gallery - by raising these issues without following the procedures that we have developed between us and her party. We would like to ask the member to raise the issues with us in future, and we will attend to them as we usually do. Thank you. [Applause.]
