Speaker, hon Lekota, you did not actually get a chance to complete your question, but I think the first part of it is how the Presidency plans to deal with or to root out corruption. All the other remarks you made about an organisation are unknown to me. I will not go into that.
This alone may be said, and I want to say it with all the conviction of its truth: The instruments, legislative and otherwise, the agencies that have been established to root out corruption, have teeth and are dealing with corruption on an ongoing basis. The participation of members of the community as whistleblowers is very impressive. That is why we are getting all these reports about acts of corruption coming out into the open. It is because we are steadily making progress. More people are participating in ensuring that those that act in a corrupt manner are brought to book. That is something that we should recognise and give more strength and fillip to.
On this issue, there certainly is commitment on the part of our government and the Presidency to ensure that we eliminate any acts of corruption. Of course, as I have said on previous occasions in this House, it takes more than just the institution's agencies and laws to root out corruption, because corrupt acts are committed when there is collusion between those inside and outside of government to manipulate processes. That is why it is so important to support the instruments that are in place to continue eliminating acts of corruption. I think that answers the bit of the question that I heard and you were able to make after the long peroration. I thank you.
