Thank you, hon Deputy Chairperson. Of course, we must honestly talk about how racism, discrimination or inequality destroys the fibre of the new tree under which we all may find protection. [Interjections.]
As our late comrade, President Nelson Mandela said, South Africa is for all who live in it, white and black - not the closing of discussion and the denial of race, as we see in the Western Cape under the DA. We cannot allow a party for the minority to define or label us when we talk about this matter in the national interest. [Interjections.]
Racism is not what our critics want us to believe. It is the conviction that the one is better than the other. In the Western Cape we are bombarded by the DA telling us that it is better than the ANC - I don't know where they get that from.
They tell us it governs better than any other area in our country and even that it is the best-run regional government in the world, forgetting that just around the corner they have Blikkiesdorp, which they put there in Delft; and not once did they go back to those people to rectify their mess. [Interjections.] [Applause.]
Why? Because it feeds the racist dinosaur the DA still harbours. [Interjections.] It is they who say, only whites can govern; blacks are incompetent and inferior to them. [Interjections.]
It comes from a book that I read: the Broederbond book. That is their history.
