associated offences in accordance with Section 7 of the National Prosecuting Authority Act. In the same breath, we join millions of patriotic South Africans in welcoming Advocate Shamila Batohi as the National Director of Public Prosecutions, NDPP. She must not be deterred by some unscrupulous and mindless opposition party members who try to draw her to their political wars. Advocate Batohi has our full support as the majority in this Parliament. We will give our support to the NPA and other law enforcement agencies in fighting corruption in all its forms and manifestations precisely, because we believe, as you believe Comrade President, that corruption in the public sector robs the poor and derails the achievement of our vision of a better life for all.
