House Chair, before I deliver my declaration, I want to dedicate it to Ms Reeva Steenkamp. As a woman in this country who was still young, she deserved to live life to the full. May her soul rest in peace.
I want to join the chairperson in thanking the Auditor-General for the contribution that he has made to the Republic of South Africa. During briefings that we had with the Auditor-General, we noted that the audit committee was satisfied with the fact that the Auditor-General of the Republic of South Africa led by example. They emphasised that he actually paid a lot of attention to smaller details.
When we visited Austria, we were impressed by the fact that the world holds our Auditor-General in high esteem. We are also taking this opportunity to thank the South African Parliament for having allowed the Auditor-General the independence that befits his office. I thank you. [Applause.]
Motion agreed to.
Report accordingly adopted.
