Hon member, please take your seat - the other member. You remain standing until I tell you to sit down. [Laughter.] Hon Minister, please address what the hon member has been saying, and please try to keep it short.
UMPHATHISWA WEZAMAPHANDLE NOPHUHLISO LWEZEMIHLABA: Somlomo ohloniphekileyo, yonke le nto ayithethayo umhlekazi uGroenewald lo isiseko sayo sinye. Bubuhlanga nokuba uyivela ngaluphina uhlobo. Akakwazi ukundichazela ngendlela emandiphendule ngayo akugqiba ukutyhola umbutho wethu owakha isizwe athi wakha ubuhlanga. Andizi kuxelelwa nguye ukuba ndiphendule njani na. Enkosi, Sihlalo, kulo ndawo.
Okokugqibela, ndifuna ukuthi kukho ilungu elithi i-ANC ayinakuthenjwa ukuba ingaphatha oorhulumente bokuhlala. Lilungu le-DA elithetha oko. I-ANC apha eMzantsi Afrika ineevoti ezingaphezu kwama-60 eepesenti kwaye ilawula oomasipalati abaninzi. (Translation of isiXhosa paragraphs follows.)
[The MINISTER OF RURAL DEVELOPMENT AND LAND REFORM: Hon Speaker, all that is said by hon Groenewald is based on one thing. It is an outright racism. He cannot tell me how to answer after he accused our party, which is building the nation, and say it is encouraging racism. He is not going to tell me how to answer. On that, Chairperson, thank you.
Lastly, I would like to mention that there is a member who says the ANC cannot be trusted to govern local governments. The member who said that is from the DA. The ANC in South Africa has more than 60% of votes and is governing many municipalities.]
One swallow doesn't make a summer.
Ngenxa yokuba bekhokela iKapa bazibona ukuba bangenza ngcono kune-ANC. Ngendlela esibaninzi ngayo apha kwi-ANC, umntu ngamnye owenza impazamo, lo mntu ngowe-ANC.Yinyaniso leyo eMzantsi Afrika kuba i-ANC inabantu abaninzi. Nokuba kukho umntu ogilwe yimoto xa uqala ukujonga ungacinga ukuba ngowe- ANC kuba sibaninzi thina. Yi-ANC elawula eli lizwe. (Translation of isiXhosa paragraph follows.)
[They think they can do much better than the ANC just because they are leading the Western Cape. As we are the majority in the ANC, anyone who is making a mistake is believed to be an ANC member. It is true that in South Africa the ANC has majority support. Even if there is a person who has been hit by a car, you may think that he belongs to the ANC because we are in the majority. It is the ANC that governs this country.]
