Chairperson, firstly I must state, unfortunately I was not part of the Portfolio Committee on visit Netherland but, I wish to state some of the things, I felt I should. The IFP notes and supports this report following over study to the Netherlands by the Portfolio Committee on Water and Sanitation. I cannot stress enough the importance of this engagement. Our country has experienced a severe drought, constant water shortages and is on the brink of disaster if do not take swift action, however swift action requires decisive and strong leadership. I am doubtful that the current crop of leaders within the ANC is able to take this action without lining their pocket first.
