NATIONAL PLANNING COMMISSION: Chairperson, I'm not quite sure why but, in respect of a number of issues raised as motions without notice and members' statements, the same issues are arising. Perhaps we need to ask the cross-party Whippery to try and resolve this issue.
Regarding the issue that the hon Greyling raised in respect of acid mine water drainage, I just want to make an appeal that we try to be rational, because it does appear that there are all manner of private sector interests driving particular agendas here.
What we need is a rational discussion and debate informed by an empirical basis, because this idea that there will be acid mine water drainage running through the streets of Johannesburg next week and that we should all walk around in gumboots is completely ridiculous. But there are private sector interests that we need to guard against, so that we can take rational decisions about these issues.
There are some mines on the east and, for a whole host of reasons, there are also some disused mines. It's a complex set of issues that we need a discussion about without pointing fingers this way and that, because that is unlikely to allow us to resolve this issue in a reasonable period of time.
The hon Meshoe's issue about whistle-blowers directed at the DA is a City of Cape Town issue; they can't have an executive response here. But I think the origin of it is directed at the DA, hon Meshoe. Thank you very much. [Applause.]
