Hon Chairperson, Deputy Chairperson, Deputy Minister, member of the executive council, MEC, permanent delegates, colleagues in this august Council, comrades, ladies and gentlemen, receive warm greetings from Mpumalanga, the most beautiful part of our country. [Interjections.]
At the start I want to indicate that only the government of the ANC cares about children. I'm surprised when the hon Faber talks so nicely about caring for children and about the quality of education that is needed to equip our children when they were part and parcel of the regime that imparted inferior education to our children. They were part and parcel of the regime that killed and maimed our children - schoolchildren, for that matter.
