point of order Chair, the hon member is misleading the House; there are specific regulations that blue lights will not be used in the Western Cape. The hon member is misleading.
THE DEPUTY CHAIRPERSON: hon member that's a point of debate therefore I would not take that. Hon Deputy Minister can you continue
THE DEPUTY MINISTER OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT: thank you, I'm saying
that all us will remember that the province doesn't have the competence on that therefore you can't away blue lights from SAPS because SAPS provides protection on all of us across the spectrum. You can only do it with Metro Police but you can't do with SAPS.
In closing hon Chairperson allow me to quote from Nelson Mandela" Real leaders must be ready to sacrifice all for the freedom of their people" A fundamental concern for others and community lives would go a long way in making the world the better place we so passionately dreamt of "Everyone can rise above their circumstances and achieve success if they are dedicated to and passionate about what they do" Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela
Together we are committed, we can turn around the economic state of our country, together we can boost the state of our local economy, unity and cohesion, and supporting our localities, lets join hands together to address this matter. We need to stop provincializing because if I want to enter a frail on that I might even ask, why is that in the Western Cape we don't have zero unemployment when you are there, that is very petty because I understand the environment within which South African is in terms of the economic challenges that is having including the Western Cape. I can't do that, so for me it is the right thing to do, to collectively hold hands and recognize each other's effort and do so. Thank you, hon Chair
