That's true, he is clever.
He cannot be dissociated from the ANC. He can't be dissociated from the ANC government. [Interjections.] He is all ANC in blood. What he thinks about the Budget, what he thinks about for our people, is ANC in blood. [Interjections.] You are mistaken, my friends. [Applause.]
This is a fallacy. If you want to know what my comrade is doing, study the January 8 Statement, study the conference resolutions -the recent ones are the Polokwane resolutions - study the Freedom Charter. You will know why, whatever he presents every February of every financial year, he says what he says. [Interjections.] You will understand it. [Applause.]
I want to remind you that when my comrade, Comrade Trevor - hon Minster, I forget you're my comrade - presented the Budget, he was riding high in the ANC manifesto. Those who said that the ANC had a wish list were mistaken. He proved 150% that the ANC knows where it is going. [Applause.] The ANC is definite and determined to ensure that for years to come our people will have a better life. [Interjections.] I want to remind you, my friends, my colleagues, that your critics are misleading you. People of this country know that the ANC is with them at all costs. [Interjections.] You are wrong.
I also want to remind you that when Comrade President Kgalema Motlanthe spoke to this House, he did not make a mistake. Many people thought that he did not have anything to say about government. They prophesied that he would not say anything because he had only been in office for five months. But they were surprised when he reflected ... because this is a baiting. This is a baiting of one comrade after another. He rode high on the foundation former President Mbeki laid; on the foundation former President Mandela laid. Unfortunately, because people do not understand this elephant called the ANC, they were surprised when they heard what he said.
