... run around with these problems as if they are good watchdogs when some of their leaders' actions are no more than that of noisy little puppies whose job it is to make a lot of noise to irritate the bulldog. Today, they continue to make all the wrong noises instead of heeding the call, and the call is: Working together, we can do more. The call is for us to work together to ensure service delivery to communities.

They continue to be silent when the DA's Mr Visser continues to insult women by saying that their place is in the kitchen. They continue to be silent when their Speaker makes statements to the effect that working black women in the legislature will be replaced by male farmers - boere.
