Modulasetulo, ke leboga nako ye ke e filwego gore ke dire ditshwayotshwayo ka Molaokakanywa wo o lego pele ga rena. Gabotsebotse ke e meraro, go no bea phaa.
Go bose go ba le Tona ya go tseba ditaba, ka gore dilo t?eo go bego go nyakega gore ke di hlalo?e gore batho ba di kwe?i?e, ba di sware, ba be ba di anye, o ?et?e a di hlalo?it?e, mohlomphegi Motlat?a Tona.
A ke mo leboge ka gore ka mehla ge a etla ka mo Ntlong ye ya rena ya go tsebalega, ya batho ba bohlale, batho ba go t?ea gabotse, o re fa ditaba gabotse gore ba bangwe ba rena re be re palelwe ke go bolela. Fela a ke dumele gore o re lemo?it?e gore re se ke ra fo?ana ka mae a go bola ka gore re be re leka gore re aga selo, bjale se a re tlaba. Nka no re di loma le barafi.
A ke efoge, ke se ke ka rerela bao ba ?et?ego ba sokologile, ka ge a ?et?e a bolet?e gore lebaka la gore re phumole selo se ke eng. Re tla gopola gore ba bangwe ba rena re t?ere karolo ge re bopa molao wo re bolelago ka ona lehono, ka gore bao bego ba o nyaka gabotsebotse e be e le mokgatlo wa kgale, e lego Democratic Party ka nako ela. Fela rena ba mokgatlo o mogolo wa go t?ea gabotse, wa bohlale, ra re molao wo ga wa loka ka gore ge re ka o dumela, o tla tloga o fet?a temokrasi mo nageng ya borena, ba se re kwe?i?e. Bjale lehono di a ba loma; ga ba sa o nyaka. Bjale rena re re, re le bodit?e ra re selo se ga se a loka, le se ke la se dumela. Bjale mo?ate ba re kwele, di ba lomile, ba boile go rena ba re selo se ga se phumulweng.
Ke rata go bea taba ye ke re, go nale diphetho t?eo re di t?erego kua khonferenseng ya Polokwane. Se sengwe sa t?ona ke sona sa gore molao wo wa go dumela gore batho ba ngwege, ga re sa o nyaka, re o phumule. Efela, Mokgatlo wa Kganet?o ga ba bolele ka ona, gore sephetho se ke se re se t?erego kua khonferenseng ya rena ya mokgatlo wa go t?ea gabotse. Go nyakega gore le t?ona le di tsopole t?a gore kua khonferenseng ya Polokwane e be e se t?a bobe, re be re loki?a.
Gona bjale le a bobola.
Le tsebe gore ge molao wo o eba gona, ke rena bao re bego re holega ka bont?i. Ge go etla nako ela re rego ke "window period", ke gore nako ya go ngwega, mekgatlo e ment?i e be tsenelwa ke meetse ka dintlong ka ge ba be ba tseba gore ba a nwelela. Batho ba a ngwega, ba t?wa go bona ba ngwegela go rena le go mekgatlo ye mengwe. Bjale lehono ka gore selo se se ba lomile, rena re a dumela ka gore rena ga re na megabaru le go ba majelathoko, re a bona gore ka gore re nyaka gore temokrasi mo nageng ya rena e gole, e kokotlele, e be selo seo re ka ikgant?hago ka sona, re re selo "se se nkganago se nthola morwalo", a se sepele.
Ka gona re tla re mekgatlo kamoka kua komiting yeo re lego go yona, ba ile ba dumela gore ba a bona gore molao wo ka nnete ga o nyakege, ga o sepele. Ka gona re re se se nkganago ga se sepele.
A ke fet?e ka gore ... [T?hwahlelo.] (Translation of Sepedi paragraphs follows.)
[Kgoshi M L MOKOENA: Chairperson, I am grateful for the time allocated to me to comment on this Bill. To be more accurate, there are three Bills.
It is a pleasure to have a Minister who is well informed, because he had already expatiated on the issues that I had wanted to explain so that people can grasp them, hon Deputy Minister.
I must thank him because every time he comes to this august House, he covers everything and leaves some of us speechless. I also acknowledge that he indicated that we should not fight amongst ourselves. We were trying to work together, but it fired right back at us.
Let me avoid preaching to be converted. We should remember that some of us were present when amendments to legislation were made to fit in the aspect of crossing the floor, an issue that we are deliberating on today. The people who actually wanted it back then are the members of the Democractic Party. Our strong organisation did not approve of it since it would have put an end to democracy in our country. Now it is firing back at them and they want to have it abolished.
Let me put it this way: There are resolutions that were taken at the Polokwane Conference, one of them being that this floor crossing is unacceptable, and that it must be abolished. Members of the opposition party are quiet about it - they are not coming out with it - that this is a resolution taken at our conference. It is necessary that you mention that we were not only trying to abolish floor-crossing at the conference, but there were amendments that were made too. At this moment all you are doing is moan.
You need to know that if floor-crossing is still in existence, we would be the ones mostly benefiting from it. During the window period most organisations were concerned because they were standing on shaky ground. Their members were crossing the floor to other organisations. Now they have experienced what it is like to lose their members. We are not against them, we are not being selfish about it and we do not pull aside. We want our democracy to grow and strenghten so that we can take pride in it.
We therefore say that all the organisations in our committee agree that crossing the floor is not a necessity. Let it be abolished. If it doesn't go down well, then let it be abolished.
In conclusion I would like to say ... [Interjections.]]
