Thank you, Chairperson. I would like to remind hon Worth that the ANC has a programme and a plan for this government. To run the government is not an event but a process. I am surprised by the DA members who were there in the committee and were debating and who supported this Bill. It is only now, after they were with their bosses, that they have changed their minds. [Interjections.]
We know that we are on track as the government, if we look at the President's address on the police in 2007. The ANC is still on track in that regard, and when dealing with the police we are dealing with the legacy of the DA. They have forgotten about that. [Interjections.] The ANC supports this Budget Vote so that we can improve the working of the police. [Applause.] Division demanded.
