May we please ask Hon Groenewald to start from scratch, because he was half way through his motion, and the wrong microphone was switched on.
Oh, I see. Can you start from the beginning, Mr Groenewald?
I will do so.

3) van hierdie geleentheid gebruik maak om Minister Nathi Mthethwa sterkte toe te wens met die bekamping van misdaad. (Translation of Afrikaans draft resolution follows.)
