Madam Speaker, I wish to respond to the hon member Nel. He spoke about expropriated funds not utilised. I am sure he meant ``appropriated funds not utilised.'' [Interjections.]
Praat altyd met my in Afrikaans dan verstaan ek jou goed. [Always speak to me in Afrikaans, then I will understand you well.]
I want to remind the hon member Nel that with respect to land restitution, paying out to farmers and so forth, he himself is aware of how farmers give us trouble in negotiating prices and coming to some terms, and therefore, you must expect funds not to be utilised when people don't play their part.
Furthermore, he speaks about irresponsible statements made by officials. Well, the hon member did not, in the portfolio committee, bring to our attention anything irresponsible that he had heard of. So, we cannot attend to it. He must please bring it up in the portfolio committee.
Then he said that he hopes that the new Minister will attend to problems. Well, give her a chance! She is new. She is not second-hand. Thank you. [Laughter.]
With regard to the hon member Cupido, his speech here was about R4 billion per year that will be needed. He said here today that they are not going to support this budget, which means that we must go outside there and tell all the people that the ACDP, standing for all those Christian principles, does not want people's land to be restored to them.
There I want to tie with what the hon Louis Green had to say. That was 100% correct. We need to restore the land of the people whose land was stolen arbitrarily. Therefore, you remind me, hon member Green, about the 1896 fort ...
U weet, jy moet daardie ding waarvan die battery selde sterk is, en dikwels dood is, minstens vier slingerdraaie draai, voordat hy aan die brand kan kom, want ek wonder hoeveel keer sal 'n mens die lede hier wat teen hierdie begroting gaan stem se slingers moet draai om hulle aan die brand te kry, om hierdie begroting te ondersteun. [Applous.] Ten slotte, agb lede, ... (Translation of Afrikaans paragraph follows.)
[You know, you must crank that thing around whose battery is hardly ever strong and often flat, at least four times before it will start up, because I wonder how many times one will have to crank the members who are going to vote against this budget to get them going, to support this budget. [Applause.] In conclusion, hon members ...]
... the ANC supports ...
volmondig ... [whole-heartedly ...] ... this budget. [Applause.]
