Hon Chair, first of all I just want to clear the air here. In the first place, the ANC is not the only party that brought liberation to South Africans. [Interjections.] That is a half-truth and, as we all know, half-truths are lies. The people of SA resisted apartheid and it needs to be acknowledged that in the face of the most horrendous oppression, South Africans as workers, religious people, in civil society, in education, everywhere, resisted apartheid and in many cases did so without regard to the liberation movement.
I was born in 1970. I just want to give you my history. I was part of it and I know about the liberation movement. [Interjections.] I know about the liberation movement. [Interjections.] That is why, when I was oppressed and I knew nothing, I was never asked: Do you have an ANC card to go and strike? I was never asked that. I fought for my liberation. [Interjections.]
I also fought as much as the ANC came in and also fought.
