Deputy Speaker, I will respond to two questions. Hon member from the IFP, for the record, in 1994, a number of voting stations were headed by National Council of Trade Unions, Nactu, aligned principals, who were aligned to the IFP. In 2009, a person who was arrested for tampering with the election results in Ulundi belonged to a particular political party. You can go and investigate; you will be shocked. No SA Democratic Teachers Union, Sadtu, member has ever been arrested for that. [Applause.]
Hon Gcwabaza and hon Smith, I think you have hit the nail on the head. Hon Mazibuko, I am very disappointed, although not surprised by the self- seeking and self-publicising antics of the DA that we witnessed on Sunday in KwaZulu-Natal. These were the tantrums of a spoilt child desperately seeking attention in a world where he or she has become largely irrelevant. [Interjections.]
I am bound to conclude, Deputy Speaker, that this is a party and party leader who measure success in column inches and photo opportunities. The DA is either unaware of or insensitive to history. The march was into an area of our country which has a long history of political strife and violence, with the explicit intention of stirring up political emotions. They seem oblivious or unconcerned as to the possible outcome of such unwelcome and provocative intrusion. Again, as happened at the Cosatu headquarters, poor black people were rented and exposed to danger by the hon madam and her adventure. This is an area of KwaZulu-Natal in which ... [Time expired.] [Applause.]
Deputy Speaker, I did not want to disturb the hon Minister whilst he was speaking. For the record, Nactu is a nonaligned movement, not aligned to the IFP.
