Hon Speaker, while on the issue of corruption, I hope that Agang has sorted its own problems out with regard to missing money. I mainly wanted to deal with the issue of the DA's statement on the appointment of a provincial ombud. I think the issue we must remember about policing is that we are not a federation and we therefore need to look at tackling the problems of South Africa as a whole and not get caught up in provincialising issues. [Interjections.] The Constitution does provide for certain oversight powers over policing, but it would be interesting to see what has actually happened. The DA loves saying how wonderful the Western Cape is, but we know that the matric pass rate, for example, has come down to about fourth place, whereas when the ANC was in power, it had the highest percentage in terms of the matric pass rate. [Interjections.] [Applause.]
You have been in a provincial government with oversight over the police for some time; what have you done? The Provincial Police Act that you passed, which you spoke about, and that you cut and pasted came into effect over a year ago - is there a difference? What have you done? I just wanted to highlight those issues. [Interjections.]
