The ANC welcomes the ruling of the Western Cape High Court today that the separation of powers between the different arms of state must be respected. As a result, the motion of no confidence brought by the opposition to be debated by the House has been dismissed. [Applause.]
The ANC reconfirms its respect for the Constitution and the rule of law, and calls on all opposition parties to abandon their disruptive activities and instead take hands with the ANC to work together to improve the lives of our people. [Applause.]
