Speaker, yesterday chaos broke out in the Cape Town central business district, CBD, as protesters looted shops, broke down trading stores, injured innocent vendors, destroyed public property and disrupted public transport services. These actions by members and supporters of the ANC Youth League, led yesterday by ANC Councillor Loyiso Nkohla, and expelled ANC Councillor Andile Lili ... [Interjections.] ... are completely unacceptable.
Order! Order!
This is clear proof that these thugs have no real service delivery concerns and that their actions are all part of the ANC's ongoing campaign to make the Western Cape ungovernable. [Interjections.] You will not succeed.
The ANC continues to whip up false figures about the Western Cape, while every single national and international report shows that the Western Cape is the best-run province in the country. [Applause.] Over the past year, unemployment in the Western Cape has decreased from 27% to 25%. This is because the DA's policy on jobs is number one. The ANC cannot stand this. [Interjections.]
The ANC in Gauteng has failed. Unemployment has increased from 29% to 30% in the past year. In Limpopo, unemployment is so rife that, for every one person looking for a job, two people have already completely given up looking.
Know your ANC. The ANC will never succeed in making the Western Cape ungovernable. We will win! [Time expired.] [Applause.]
