Thank you, hon Chairperson. In the committee we were taken aback - it was almost as if we were in some kindergarten! We were told to take proposed amendments that were baseless to start with. We could not take those baseless proposed amendments that were made by the opposition.
Here is advice for the DA. Perhaps they should look into their deployment of shadow Ministers because, if they are to take Minister Gordhan, Deputy Minister Nene, hon Mufamadi, hon Van Rooyen and members of the ANC in the committee to task on finances, they should really rethink the deployment of their shadow Ministers.
It is important for us to ensure that we learn from the old people. Hon Koornhof made tangible submissions to the committee.
Mhlawumbe kumele sikusho lokhu indlela ibuzwa kwabaphambili. Ezinye izinto abanye abantu bafuna ukusifaka phezulu, ayisebenzi ngaleyo ndlela leyo. (Translation of isiZulu paragraph follows.)
[I need to say that we must learn from the old people. Some people want to just include some things anyhow, but that is not how things are done.]
So, all I'm saying is that it is important for us to know that the technical amendments that the hon member has alluded to were just technical issues and were not substantiated matters that we were speaking to.
Let me thank hon Nkobo of the IFP for the support. As far as the issue of the delay and the cost are concerned, it has been said that there will be no delay whatsoever. Sars will implement the use of efficient electronic systems to ensure that the delay issue is addressed and the risk of the buyer and seller is not liable.
Hon Van Rooyen mentioned that the Bill elevates small business's entrepreneurial capacity to grow the economy of South Africa and this is carefully noted.
Hon Bhoola is quite correct to say that others will oppose for the sake of opposing. The DA has no substantive argument to put forward on these three Bills; all opposition parties are in support and it is not surprising that they are the only ones who are not supporting it. Unfortunately, they did not receive proper information in regard to the Bills. The ANC is very comfortable with the Bills and it is supporting them.
Lo okhulumayo umalokazana kaShabalala, uMshengu, udonga lamavuso, isidwaba siluthuli, ingonini yasemavanini. Ngithi lona-ke uMka Shabalala, uMshengu kaNathi. UKhongolose uyayiseka le mithethosivivinyo. Siyaphambili, siyaqhuba, yehlisani umoya! [Ihlombe.] (Translation of isiZulu paragraph follows.)
[The speaker here is a daughter-in-law of the Shabalalas, Mshengu, udonga lamavuso, isidwaba siluthuli, ingonini yasemavanini (praise names of the Shabalala clan). This is Shabalala's wife, a Mshengu who is Nathi's wife. The ANC supports these Bills. We are moving forward, we are progressing Calm down! [Applause.]]
