Chair, can I start by welcoming the DA councillors from Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Municipality. You are welcome. [Applause.] They came down to see how a metro is supposed to be run, unlike the Ekurhuleni Metro in Gauteng. [Applause.] [Laughter.] I cannot believe the hypocrisy of the previous speaker, the chairperson of the committee, when she spoke about the upliftment of the poor when she herself is facing charges of corruption. [Interjections.] The mind boggles; she really is an elephant in the room.
