Madam Deputy Speaker, allow me to say that I have just come from Cuba and was feeling very fresh. [Interjections.] But the amount of ideological pollution coming from the benches on the other side of this House is really very disturbing. [Interjections.]
Allow me to respond to two statements by two members. First of all, I fully agree with the hon Mkhulusi regarding the role that the private sector or some in the private sector are playing in career guidance. Indeed, as the department we fully welcome these initiatives.
In many ways they are building on the initiatives taken by our department through, among other things, the SA Qualifications Authority-run Khetha project. This is a career guidance project with a helpline, a website and weekly broadcasts on SABC's nine radio stations in different languages in our country. Nevertheless, we would like to say that much as we welcome these initiatives, as government we would like to see improved synergies between what government is doing and other initiatives taken by the private sector or nongovernmental organisations.
In response to the hon member who talked about corruption, I think it is important to say that we do not actually allow narrow opposition propaganda to distort the truth in this House. [Interjections.] We must distinguish between activities of corruption that are reported by the media and actions that are taken by government to expose corruption that do not appear in the media. [Interjections.]
I would like to challenge the hon member not to just come with a few things, but to come here with a complete record of activities of corruption that have been exposed by this government, including the many investigations ... [Interjections.] ... instigated by government through the Special Investigating Unit. [Interjections.]
Often what the media says in this country is not a reflection of truth. And, often, it is in line with what the opposition is saying. That is why they come and quote newspapers here as if that is the truth. Thank you very much, Madam Deputy Speaker. [Applause.]
