Hon House Chair, I need to indicate that the ANC is the first party to put anticorruption as a priority in its election manifesto. As we move South Africa forward, we will work tirelessly to ensure that we realise the ideal of a Public Service that is professional, accountable and development-orientated. The ANC is still committed to building a democratic developmental state, a state that will be able to lead efforts to reduce and overcome unemployment, poverty and inequality; a state that will play a strategic, guiding role in the economy and decisively intervene in the interest of the people, particularly the workers and the poor; and a state that will mobilise society in furthering development, broadening access to public services, fighting corruption and holding public officials accountable.
Ga go na mokgatlo o mongwe wa sepolotiki o o nang le Freedom Charter, ke ANC fela. Ga re na mona le letlhoo. Re tshegetsa Tlhopho ya Tekanyetsokabo 12. Ke a leboga. [Legofi.] Translation of Setswana paragraph follows.)
[No other political party has a Freedom Charter, only the ANC does. We are neither jealous, nor do we harbour hatred. We support Budget Vote No 12. Thank you. [Applause.]]
