Thank you very much. We also spoke about crime that is affecting us. We are not running away from it; we are strengthening our ... [Interjections.] The reason why I'm saying these things is because this causes all the people who are reflecting on the South African situation to look at it in a better way and to know that we are acting on those issues, unlike you who will keep on howling. Can I say howling - is it parliamentary to say howling? [Interjections.] When I started I said that when a dog barks with its mouth full of food morsels, you must always ignore it because it will make you angry. [Interjections.]
Comrade Sayedali Shah, you spoke about Port St Johns - it is a prime site. If you had interacted with the Eastern Cape government ... [Interjections.] ... they will tell you about the programmes they have, how they have identified all the small towns and how they intend to support them to develop. That is critically important. We are not running away from the issue, but what I'm saying is that it has been identified, and the provincial and national governments are jointly addressing the issue.
I know my time is up. Once again, Minister, the ANC supports this Budget Vote. To the hon young man over there, you have Comrade Shah, who is still a comrade and will keep on teaching you about where we come from. [Laughter.] [Applause.]
