Hon Deputy Speaker, they do not have to ask for permission from me. The protocol says that the Minister of Police was supposed to write to the Minister of Justice, who in turn was supposed to write to me indicating that they required the following information from my department. This did not happen. It was never brought to the attention of the three of us.
Siyezwana bab'uNdlovu? Abazange basitshele, abatshelanga muntu. Into abayenzile bahambe bayotshela amaphepha, bazisa abamaphephandaba ukuthi bazohlasela (raid), sayithola naleyo. Okwesibili, uma ubuza ukuthi lokho abakwenzile babenayo imvume na?
Njengoba singuhulumeni imvume kufanele ihambe ngendlela efanele, ngendlela yokucela. Uma singavumi, kumele uNgqongqoshe wezoBulungiswa asho ukuthi uzothatha siphi isinqumo. Hhayi bamane batheleke emahovisini kahulumeni benguhulumeni. (Translation of isiZulu paragraphs follows.)
[Do we understand each other, hon Ndlovu? They did not tell us, they told no one. They informed the press that they were going to raid; we also got that one. Secondly, are you asking whether they had permission to do what they did?
As the government, the permission should follow the correct protocol of requesting. When we do not give permission, the Minister of Justice and Constitutional Development must say which decision he is going to take. Not to just burst into the government's offices whilst they are government themselves.]
