Thank you, Speaker. Hon President, when a member of Cabinet has been sent on a mission such as this one, you would expect to receive a report on his return saying what he went to do and what he had done. Such a report would not require an investigation now. It should be on your desk. [Interjections.]
Therefore, the country now knows that our public funds were spent there. That meeting that he was originally supposed to attend did not happen. In fact, before he left indications were given everywhere that that meeting was no longer going to happen. Instead he visited, in terms of the report, a drug mule in jail.
We, the members of the public in this country, lost thousands of rands because of the limousines that he was driving around in in Switzerland visiting his girlfriend. He was abusing those resources.
