Speaker, I thank the hon Deputy President for his reply. Would the Deputy President agree that the majority party, the African National Congress, has been at the forefront in guiding the nation to deal with the key challenges that face us as a new democracy - a democracy that needs to transform these arms of the state to accord with the vision of an united democratic, nonracial, nonsexist and just society? Would he agree that it is the leadership of the ANC that has ensured the separation of powers - a functioning executive and vibrant legislative arm, together with independence of the judiciary and the rule of law as the foundational values that underpin the democratic society? Thank you. [Applause.]
