Of course it's not a BMW! I heard all the issues raised here today, but I want to say to hon Mokgalapa from the DA that I think it is going to be like Mr Steyn. He's a very robust Member of Parliament, but you are making mistakes, sir. The things you said came from the DA are good and we agree with all of them. I agree because you took them all from my speech of last year. [Laughter.] I thank you for that. [Applause.] As for the Western Cape, which is supposed to be held up against the ruling party, we welcome that. It's good competition. I had a moment to share this morning with the premier. She is a good premier and our boss here in the province, but I was careful to see if she was looking at me with the same eyes as Zwelinzima Vavi. [Laughter.]
However, we are working very well together. We are spending R400 million on the Slovo Project, watched by the Constitutional Court. The project is coming on very well and it shows how the three spheres of government - national, provincial and local - can work together, although Mayor de Lille was not there. We appreciate their efforts and their work. Please convey those sentiments of mine to her, because I was with your lady. You know, I love those two ladies. So please convey the fact that the Minister was here; that she snubbed me, but that I nevertheless recognised the input she is making. This project is forging ahead fast.
Please, hon members, visit the Slovo Project. Those of you who have seen it will know it is a first-class, first-world project, and it's happening right before us. Those shacks are going away. At the end of the day, we will give dignity to those people and do away with the eyesore we see there.
My last point is to thank everybody who participated, the portfolio committee, the leaders of the various parties present here and members of the Human Settlements team under Mr Zulu. It's a full house here, which shows that people are interested in this subject.
