Hoor, hoor! (Translation of Afrikaans paragraphs follows.)
[Deputy Speaker, we need to ask ourselves two questions. Firstly, why did brilliant players like Kevin Pietersen and Jonathan Trott, South Africans through and through, have to leave the country to play cricket in England and later for England? Secondly, why is it taking so long to find a successor for Makhaya Ntini, while there should have been a multitude of substitutes by now, if we had only had a sports development policy instead of a transformation policy?
I know the Minister is vying for a high position in the ANC at next year's ANC Congress. [Laughter.] I think this indaba is part of his programme to build his image for next year. [Interjections.] He must just remember the difficulties in which the nationalisation of mines has landed his comrade, Julius Malema. [Interjections.] If he wants to nationalise sport, he will be up against more than just the ANC. [Interjections.]
Lastly, I hope that this indaba will not once again be just a waste of time and taxpayers' money, but that the sportspeople of South Africa will benefit from it. [Applause.]
