Speaker, one suggestion might be for us to be frank and say that election campaigning has really started in the House. Then at least we can place some of the statements in some kind of perspective.
With reference to my statements quoted by the hon member on the other side, let me state what I said. Firstly, the lack of an adequate supply of electricity is a structural constraint in our economy; it's in the Budget Review. It's in speeches we have made. We don't hide that. Secondly, the delays at Medupi have had an impact on the supply of electricity and it would have changed the growth picture marginally had it been on time. Thirdly, the weather, it appears, did have some impact on the supply of the appropriate quality of coal and we must accept that.
What is the sum total of all of this? The "kick in the ankle" is about asking what we want to do as South Africans: remain paralysed because we have a problem and shout that we have a crisis, or actually say, yes, we have a challenge and we have to adapt to the environment in which we exist.
