Chairperson, the FF Plus started about two years ago with the process where we said that we have to amend where the party political fund are from, which we did. And my question is: Why don't we start to implement correctly these specific amendments to the Party Political Fund?
The Political Party Funding Act provides firstly that, all people who want to donate money can donate it in a specific account with the Electoral Commission and that there are certain restrictions of say R100 000 which, if you go above that, you have to declare it. We have a period here in South Africa where a taxpayers' money has been looted because of certain political people and officials in the governing party, not because of someone else from the public, but because it's a political party who is in government that actually allows these things to happen.
Therefore, the FF Plus says, let's start with what we already have and ensure that be enforced. You know, the problem with South Africa partly is also that we are some good legislation, but we do not enforce it. That is part of the problem.

Dan vra ek myself die vraag: Hoekom sal 'n bepaalde skenker miljoene rande gee vir 'n bepaalde politieke party, wat die regering van die dag is, as hy nie iets terug wil h nie? 'n Besigheidspersoon doen dit vir besigheid, nie omdat hy 'n bepaalde ideaal nastreef nie.
Ek ken baie sakemense, wat vir my reguit s: "Ek stem nie vir die ANC nie, maar ek gee vir hulle geld; hulle dink ek stem vir hulle." Dit is eintlik niks anders as 'n bedrag wat gegee word om te s dat hulle 'n dividend op dit kry nie
Laastens, wat die agb President en die verslag teen hom betref, die versoek van die Vryheidsfront Plus aan die President is, neem die publiek van Suid- Afrika in jou vertroue. Ongeag van die verslag, gaan voort. Ek is op rekord toe ek ges het: Doen die hersiening, maar neem die mense van
Suid-Afrika in jou vertoue en s watter geld daar vir jou gegee is.
English:
Hon Chair, to receive millions of rands only for a campaign to ensure that you are elected, creates more questions because, why would you give millions to a President to become a President? I thank you. [Time expired.]
