Thank you, hon Speaker.
Mhlonishwa, Baba uGatsheni, cha asazi ukuthi bayoboshwa nini. Kodwa esikwaziyo ukuthi abenza okubi bayalandelwa njengoba namhlanje sikhuluma ukuthi icala le-forensic selisebenza kahle noma siyabona lapho eliya khona, ngenxa yokuthi ubuholi bamaphoyisa buye bangenelela bathi akufakwe abantu abazosebenza.
Mhlawumbe kukhona ukuhlobana asazi kodwa nakhu ezinye izinto zisaphenywa, Boyabenyathi, asithembe ukuthi zizovela ngokuhamba kwesikhathi. Siyabonga. (Translation of isiZulu paragraphs follows.)
[Hon member, hon Gatsheni, no, we do not know when they are going to be brought to book. But what we do know is that those who are doing bad things are being monitored because today we are saying that the forensics services unit is doing well and that we can see progress since the police leadership got involved and instructed them to appoint people who are willing to work.
They might be related; we do not know, but there are some things that are being investigated, Boyabenyathi. Let us hope that they will come out in the open in the long run.]
