Orde! Dit het geklink asof die agb lid wil huil! [Gelag.] (Translation of Afrikaans paragraphs follows.)
[Mr D V BLOEM: Chairperson, the ANC will support this Budget Vote. The reason for this is that we are a responsible party. There is no way that the ANC cannot support this budget.
I do not know why other parties are making such a big fuss. The department is co-operating with us. Last Tuesday the department came to address us about the objections that you have. Why don't you attend the meetings and listen to what the department has to say? For your information, all eight prisons will be built. The first tender, the one for the Kimberley prison, is out already.
Why are you crying? Please tell me so that I can provide you with the necessary information. The ANC supports this Budget Vote. Thank you. [Applause.]
