Mr Speaker, the credit rating agency Moody's attributed their downgrading of South Africa's credit rating to:
The challenges posed by a negative investment climate in light of ... increased concerns about South Africa's future political stability.
This, Mr Speaker, is an indictment of the President and his government's ability to lead this country.
The hon President has tried here today to pass the buck on leading this country. He has tried to claim that it is the responsibility of members in the opposition benches to run South Africa, yet he is the head of state. These are the President's questions, and not questions to the opposition. We elected you, hon President, to lead this country. [Interjections.]
