More than any other people, that group was the one that was marginalised since the formalisation of the Union Government in 1910. The other groups were supported. That is why we had the Land Bank, which was able to extend cheap loans to the farmers there. So why, then, when it is the turn of all the people, must we turn our backs on them?
What is critical here, hon Alberts, is that the minorities had an 84-year head start, from 1910 to 1994. We have a lot of ground to cover for the other people who were marginalised. [Interjections.] What is very important, hon Alberts, is that one of the ANC's eminent leaders said, as far back as 1913, that we must banish the demon of racism and tribalism. That is why the policies of the ANC, even at the height of apartheid, expressed that South Africa belonged to all who lived in it, although they were oppressed. So, we are going to embrace you as we move forward. The ANC supports this Budget Vote. [Time expired.]
