Thank you, Chairperson. The IFP respects the principle of this matter, which has been raised by the DA. The IFP, however, supported Dr Socikwa being short-listed, and we do not question her competence and the wide range of skills which she will bring to the Independent Communications Authority of SA in any way whatsoever.
We are in fact confident that she will be mindful of the perils and perceptions that her family connections hold for her and that she will act with the honesty and integrity which will be required from her at all times. Thank you.
