Transport is deel van Asgisa, agb Robinson. U weet, as 'n mens iets wil s en jy s niks ... Daar's 'n liedjie wat lui, "You say it best when you say nothing at all."
Ek dink dis wat die DA moet doen; liewer stilbly en niks s nie, want die agb Watson mislei die Huis. Die agb Watson s die Wes-Kaap het 'n volle Wes- Kaap-regeringsitting gehad waar hulle hierdie wysigingswetsontwerp goedgekeur het. Waar was u, Meneer? Was u daar in die Wes-Kaap?
Hier sit my agb kollega wat daar was. Die Wes-Kaap het openbare verhore gehou, meneer. Waar was u? U kom hier en mislei die Huis. U s dis 'n wet wat drakonies is. Nee, Meneer. Dis 'n wet wat Suid-Afrika op die regte pad plaas. Ek wil h u moet terugdraai. U moet terugdraai.
Die afgelope tyd is die visie van hierdie nasionale regering om 'n beter lewe vir almal te skep ernstig onder druk geplaas deur die DA-beheerde veelpartyregering van die Uniestad Kaapstad. Die uitslag van die plaaslike regeringsverkiesings het 'n ommekeer gebring in die rasseharmonie en maatskaplike eenheid wat ons graag wou bou en wat die DA besig is om te probeer vernietig in die Wes-Kaap. Die uitslae van die verkiesing en die bestaan van onstabiele koalisies het die swaar gewonne stabiliteit wat in die provinsie bewerkstellig is, begin bedreig.
Die DA loop skoon en deel bruinbrode en blikkies vis aan ons mense uit in Tafelsig om 'n verkiesing te wen. Dit is laag gedaal vir die DA! In die lig van die politieke broosheid in die Uniestad Kaapstad is ek oortuig ... (Translation of Afrikaans paragraphs follows.)
[Mr F ADAMS: Transport is part of Asgisa, hon Robinson. You know, if one wants to say something and one says nothing ... There's a song that goes: "You say it best when you say nothing at all."
I think that is what the DA must do: rather keep quiet and say nothing, because the hon Watson is misleading the House. The hon Watson says that the Western Cape had a full sitting of the Western Cape government where they approved this amending Bill. Where were you, sir? Were you there in the Western Cape?
My hon colleague who was there is sitting here. The Western Cape held public hearings, sir. Where were you? You come here and mislead the House. You say that it is a draconian Act. No, sir. It is an Act that places South Africa on the right course. I want you to turn back. You must turn back.
Recently the vision of this national government to create a better life for all was placed under serious pressure by the DA-controlled multi-party government of the Cape Town Unicity. The results of the local government elections brought a turnabout in the racial harmony and social unity that we would have liked to build and that the DA is trying to destroy in the Western Cape. The results of the election and the existence of unstable coalitions have started to threaten hard-won stability that has been achieved in the province.
The DA even went so far as to hand out brown bread and tinned fish to our people in Tafelsig to win an election. That is certainly sinking very low for the DA! In die light of the political fragility in the Cape Town Unicity I am convinced ...]
