Speaker, thank you very much to the hon Molebatsi from the ANC for the statement on crime statistics. Indeed, credit must go to all South Africans for working with the men and women in blue to help eradicate crime in our country. As the leadership of the police, we commit ourselves further to reducing crimes against women, in particular rape. Of course, we can only do so if we work in partnership with communities, as we have done with other types of crime in South Africa. [Applause.]
Mr Speaker, on a point of order ...
Actually, that was the last response from Ministers. Hon member, what is your point of order?
Speaker, I just wanted to raise the issue of the maximum of five minutes.
Yes, hon member, that was the last speaker.
Speaker, I find it regrettable that Cope does not want to hear about maintenance matters. [Laughter.]
Speaker, on a point of order: Cope respects the Rules of the House, and I wish the ANC would do the same. [Applause.]
