Deputy Speaker, the ANC is appalled at the obtrusive and completely opportunistic move by the DA leader, Mrs Helen Zille, to inspect the personal residence of the President of the Republic ... [Interjections.] ... His Excellency Mr Jacob Zuma on Sunday, 4 November 2012. For all intents and purposes, the DA delegates' visit to Inkandla, to not only inspect but supposedly also hand over letters from learners from Limpopo to the President, was clearly a provocative act intent on garnering publicity and an incitement of violence.
The DA has already used many channels at its disposal to highlight their concerns regarding the renovations at Inkandla, namely the investigations by the Public Protector, the Auditor-General and the Department of Public Works. They need to be patient and have confidence in these institutions to report once the investigations are completed. The fact that they have no respect for these legal processes and behave like an extraparliamentary organisation is clear. The DA had agreed to drive through Inkandla, but then decided to walk through the area, thereby lying to the police and going back on their agreement. This was an act of bad faith and could have resulted in violent confrontation. Given that KwaZulu-Natal has been rocked by an increase in political violence and the Inkandla Municipality is also a politically volatile area ... [Time Expired.] [Applause.]
Deputy Speaker, I rise on a point of order: The hon member has accused the DA of lying. I submit that that's unparliamentary, Madam.
Come on, you know better than that, please. [Interjections.]
