Chairperson, I want to express the ANC's support for this Budget Vote, and remind the hon Bloem about water.
Apha kweli lizwe iitephu zazingekho kodwa ngoku zikhona nabantu ezilalini bakha amanzi kufutshane, kodwa yena uyakhalaza. Abantu abakhalazayo abazange baphela. Imoto ehambayo kuthiwa iyakhonkothwa zizinja. Siyaluxhasa olu hlahlo-lwabiwo-mali. [Kwaqhwatywa.] (Translation of isiXhosa paragraph follows.)
[In this country there used to be no water taps but today we have them and even people in rural areas are fetching water not far from their homes, but he is still complaining. There will always be people who are forever complaining. People who are progressive are always criticised. We support this Budget Vote. [Applause.]]
Vote accordingly agreed to.
Schedules put and agreed to.
