Hon Speaker, this country is stable. [Applause.] Once again, if you know democracies, you go to old democracies in this world, there are strikes continually but that does not spell the fact that there is instability. You can go to Paris, London and everywhere and you will find that there are strikes and those strikes are a feature of democracy. They are not instabilities. In countries where there is no democracy, if people protest or go on strike, they are dealt with. In democracies, they continue as long as they do it within the framework of the law, and that is what is happening in South Africa.
What the hon member is saying is the view of the opposition, and they have the right to have their own views. Nobody could compete with you. I do not think you would have an opposition agreeing with the ruling party. That is the a nature of democracy. This country is stable, absolutely. Thank you, hon Speaker. [Applause.]
