Speaker, let me comment on the perceived delivery of the DA in the Western Cape. Our response, Speaker, is that, yes, the DA has delivered to the posh suburbs of Cape Town, but the poor and the majority of the people of Cape Town remember that the DA can only deliver open toilets ... [Interjections.]
Order, hon members! Order!
What we know with regard to the economy is that the poor people who come to seek job opportunities here in this city and in this province are told ...
Speaker, may I address you on a point of order? You made a ruling last week in the House that the Minister can respond to one statement. Now, in this case, three Ministers have responded to the same statement and I ... [Interjections.]
They are not responding to the same statement. It is not one statement, hon member. Proceed, hon Minister.
Speaker, what the member forgot to say is that those who look for opportunities ... [Interjections.]

Thank you, hon Speaker, for the protection. What we want to say is that the majority of the people here in this province know that when they look for opportunities, be it jobs, be it schooling opportunities, they are called refugees in their own country, because they are disturbing the posh suburbs. Thank you. [Applause.]
