Hon Deputy Speaker, when the new Minister was appointed, we thought that that would bring in some fresh air. What we were not aware of was that it was air from the passage. The department is in a shambles, the same way as it was with the previous Ministers.
Almost all the departments complain about the Department of Public Works when we talk about infrastructure and nondelivery. What is very clear is that the department should at least be called the ``Department of Nkandla'' because the only time they rise and do something is when Nkandla is mentioned. [Interjections.]
However, when you go to any government department, you will find that the departments are complaining about the services they are supposed to get from the Department of Public Works, including Parliament. We are the only Parliament in the world where the lifts fall whilst there are people inside and the Department of Public Works says nothing. Therefore, Cope will not support this Budget Vote. Thank you. [Applause.]
