Madam Chair, the ANC-led government, unlike other governments, never had a Vlakplaas. We created the Water Research Commission. [Interjections.] We continue to draw intelligent information from the research commission to ensure that we provide alternatives that are able to take us forward in terms of the provision of water and sanitation in South Africa.
The report of the Human Rights Commission, HRC - not the Human Rights Council, hon Madisha - is but one of the documents that emanated from its oversight work, a document that we greatly welcome. It is a means that will help us. As we have said, on 1 and 2 August, we are going to invite the water family so that we can develop a better way forward and to respond to all the other issues that have emerged from the diagnostic report that preceded the New Growth Path.

We don't just come in and jump up and down and so forth because we want votes and then we leave. No, unlike leaders of other political parties, we do not do that.
We also want sustainable interventions. Sustainable interventions are not a portable toilet. People don't understand because they have never experienced what it is like to have a portable toilet in a single room with them, uncollected for three solid days. Then you come here and show off about the good work of the DA! It is in the white suburbs - not in Khayelitsha. It is not in Lwandle. [Interjections.] Therefore, what we must really appreciate is that the DA in this House ...
