Kan ek net weer s dat as die ANC gaan ons voort; ons gaan lewer aan ons mense en ons gaan seker maak dat hulle nie luister na mense wat loop en lieg nie. Ons gaan seker maak dat ons mense waardeer wat ons regering vir hulle doen. (Translation of Afrikaans paragraph follows.)
[Mr R J TAU: Can I just reiterate that as the ANC we will continue to deliver to our people; and we will make sure that they do not listen to people who walk around spreading lies. We shall see to it that our people appreciate what this government is doing for them.]
It is in that context that we will continue to close the gap between the first and second economies, through the programmes with which we will continue. We will continue with our programme of social transformation and the DA must stop misleading our people with lousy media statements through which they seek cheap media publicity. We also call on the media houses to verify some of these "facts" before they print unsubstantiated allegations. That also calls into question their unbiased and investigative journalism.
