So, he should be the last one to talk. [Interjections.] The point is that the hon MEC said here in this House today that had it been in Constantia, the police would have acted quickly. But the hon MEC must tell the truth, because in Constantia they established neighbourhood watches. They fund neighbourhood watches in Constantia. They go out there and attend neighbourhood watch meetings, but they don't do that in Mitchells Plain. They don't do that in Nyanga, and they don't do that in Gugulethu, which is where the violence and the crime occur. [Interjections.] [Applause.] Why only in Constantia? Then he comes to this House and says, "Your national Police Commissioner this" or "Your provincial police commissioner that".
The police commissioner is doing his work. Lavender Hill is in my constituency - I just pick up the phone and then the commissioner deploys people there. But they want to tell the commissioner how to run the police - as if they are policemen, as if they know the Police Act, as if they are there to catch criminals! No, they go there and endanger people's lives - our women and children's lives - because they say, "Let's march, march, march, march, march." [Interjections.] They have no clear plan of action. [Interjections.] The ANC has a clear plan of action to fight this abuse. [Interjections.]
