Speaker, dit wil voorkom dat die agb Minister hierdie Parlement mislei. Dit kom ook voor dat die Minister haar posisie misbruik in hierdie Parlement. In Potchefstroom, soos wat ons nou vandag hier praat, word 3 500 pakkies uitgedeel omdat daar 'n verkiesing is. My vraag aan die agb Minister is dan: Is dit so dat u tans, soos wat ons nou hier vergader, kospakkies laat uitdeel in Potchefstroom, waar daar 'n verkiesing is? Waarom word kospakkies in Potchefstroom en elders net uitgedeel en word mense omgekoop om vir die ANC te stem? Waarom net kospakkies uitdeel waar daar tussenverkiesings is? [Applous.] (Translation of Afrikaans paragraph follows.)
[Mr J J MCGLUWA: Speaker, it would appear as if the hon Minister is misleading this Parliament. It would also appear as if this Minister is abusing her position in this Parliament. In Potchefstroom, as we speak today, 3 500 parcels are being distributed because there is an election. My question to the hon Minister is therefore: Is it true that, while we are meeting here, you are allowing the distribution of food parcels in Potchefstroom, where there is an election? Why are food parcels being distributed in Potchefstroom, and are people being bribed so as to vote only for the ANC? Why only distribute food parcels where there are by- elections? [Applause.]]
