I would like to conclude by saying that the ANC-led government has a responsibility to lead the people of South Africa. It has a responsibility to hear people's concerns. It has a responsibility to make informed decisions. The ANC-led government does not believe in referendums.
I know that its argument always encroaches on the referendums instead of consulting them. The ANC-led government believes in a unitary state and not in a federal system. It believes in strong local municipalities which can deliver proper services to the people of South Africa. Chairperson, I would like to thank you and I request this House to pass this Bill. Thanks. [Applause.]
