Mr Speaker, President Zuma's ANC has now demonstrated once and for all that it is not serious about fighting corruption. The ANC's party list for the National Assembly contains many candidates who should rather be in court, and are grossly unsuitable for public office. [Interjections.]
These include the former Minister of Communications, Dina Pule, who was found guilty of unlawful, unethical and improper conduct; the Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, Mrs Tina Joemat-Pettersson, who was implicated in the unlawful awarding of an R800 million vessel contract to Sekunjalo, the distribution of food parcels during workers' strikes and the unauthorised funding of the Black Association of the Wine and Spirit Industry, Bawsi. [Interjections.]
Speaker, the hon member is making reference to members who are serving in this House without a substantive motion. [Interjections.] If she has issues and feels that these members need to be summoned, there are procedures to be followed. That statement is out of order and shouldn't be read in the House. [Interjections.]
Order, hon members! That is correct. There has to be a substantive motion, hon member, before you can make such a statement.
I will just continue then with the rest. Pule Mabe was arrested and appeared in court ... [Interjections.]
Order, hon member! You can't continue with the rest. We have told you that you need a substantive motion; this is unprocedural.
I am not talking about the others any more.
Which other things are you talking about? Please take your seat, hon member!
Hon Speaker, may I address you?
Yes, please proceed, sir.
The statement read out by my colleague is not a motion against an individual, it's a motion about the list of the ANC. It is not a substantive motion or even a normal motion against a person. [Interjections.]
Hon member, it's about members in the House and I've made a ruling on this point. I would like us to proceed.
