Hon Speaker, hon Deputy President, hon members, the landing of the "HeliGupta" at the Waterkloof Air Force Base represents a violation of our country's sovereignty. Had South Africa been a woman, Azapo would be saying that South Africa had been raped. [Interjections.]
The question that needs to be asked is whether the Guptas would have landed their plane at an air force base in their own country or an air force base of any other country. The answer is a definite no.
Why have the Guptas become so important in South Africa? They have the telephone numbers of Ministers! We hear that they are able to summon Ministers and officials to their compound.
