I just want to respond to some of the issues before I got to the speech, starting with the DA, both the party and the province. There is a tendency on the part of the DA for thinking that that is represents business when it speaks here. Yet, it is the ANC-led government that represents everybody.
For example, there is a platform that brings together all the stakeholders in the country, which is called Nedlac - where all these issues that they are talking about are discussed. That is showing leadership. I see he is not here now, because he was saying that government is not showing leadership. Every month, the
President meets with stakeholders to discuss issues that are affecting South Africa. That is leadership. [Applause.]
Based on some of the issues that are raised by members here, I would like to invite them to go to the government website, especially the state of the nation address: Read; and reread it! [Laughter.] Also, there is a list of speeches of Minister who participated in the debate on the state of the nation address. Read those speeches.
I would also like to request the Minister of Public Works and Infrastructure to leave her speech to the hon members of the opposition so that they read - because they are not read. All these issues that they are raising are addressed in all Ministers' speeches. Hence, we are requesting that they read.
Now, the ANC is accused of controlling, and this is what the hon Boshoff is saying. It is accused of controlling the economy and regulating. The EFF on the other side is saying: How do you control the economy that you don't control. [Interjections.] The challenge or problem or the difference with the EFF is that, as the ANC, we base everything on analysis, ... [Interjections.] ... the strategy and tactics. WE are not sloganeering; we analyse. [Interjections.] We develop policies. We develop resolutions.
They came here in June 2014. They were saying they are the government in waiting, and saying that in 2019, they will be the government. [Interjections.] Now, it is 2020 and they are not in government. If I remember, they don't even have one single ward. [Interjections.] Hon Londt, not only municipality, but a ward!
