Hon Chairperson, hon members of the Council, a correction hon Chairperson, my initials are K A not R A. I'm quite sure everybody has been longing to hear my voice because you know a person better if you know her or his voice.
My good people, I am happy to be with you. I've been watching how you debate issues and how you conduct your sessions. In our own language, if you are a stranger to the people, you sit back and see how they do things. We use to say we don't like the person who, when he first comes to the people, takes the front seat - "mabina-go-tsholwa"
So, my good people, I'm happy to be with you. Next time I'll participate in the debates because I'm also here on behalf of my constituency, our people, and I'm also happy to be part of the NCOP. I wish each and every one of you here a pleasant journey home, tomorrow or tonight, and I'm sure God will provide good health and will protect you during the holidays and I hope again that you'll enjoy the holidays with your families and constituency. Until we meet again, God bless you all.
