Mr Speaker, I wanted to say that the ANC would like to direct these comments to hon Shenge. We would like to assure you, hon Shenge, that when we are in Parliament what happens here is part of parliamentary banter. It was in no way meant to offend you or to be personal. We are extremely touched by the way that you have responded to this, and we would like to indicate to you that we did not mean it in the way that you have taken it. I have spoken to hon Cronin, and he has assured me that we would not have made the personal remarks that you have attributed to him in that way. We would not be as personal to you any more than we would be personal to hon Mr Mlangeni. We value the contribution that you have made, and we would like you please to understand that it was done in the context of parliamentary banter. We had no intention to hurt you. [Applause.]
