Thank you, Deputy Speaker. Minister, these allegations were made by your allies, the National Union of Mineworkers, NUM. They are the ones who made this allegation that the Chamber of Mines had created these particular "sweetheart" unions.
It is quite surprising that you don't know what your allies know! If I were a Minister, and if my allies made this particular statement, I would be worried. I would be worried! However, it seems as if you have not become worried about the creation of such unions that are meant to undermine established collective bargaining processes in the country. It is quite surprising that you did not know that.
Minister, it was said by Dr Martin Luther King Jr that there was "nothing more tragic than to sleep through a revolution". It seems as if you are definitely sleeping through this revolution. [Interjections.]
