Agb Adjunkspeaker, kan ek u toespreek? Ek vra nie 'n sensuur op die agb lid nie. Ek praat van beweerde stellings. As ek verder na my lidverklaring toe gaan, dan s ek in my lidverklaring dat ek die agb Minister van Polisie gevra het om 'n behoorlike ondersoek in te stel oor die aangeleentheid en om daardie bevindinge van daardie ondersoek openbaar te maak, want dit is vir die mense van Suid-Afrika nodig om te weet of hulle vertroue in die polisie kan h. Dit is ook in belang van die lede van die polisie.
Ek vra die agb Minister dus om dit wat ek hom reeds versoek het, af te handel sodat ons na hierdie Huis kan terugkom en ek dan kan voorstel dat ons 'n debat daaroor voer. Dit is nie bevorderlik vir die bekamping van misdaad indien 'n agb lid van hierdie Huis optree soos die agb lid Winnie Madikizela-Mandela na bewering opgetree het nie. (Translation of Afrikaans paragraphs follows.)
[Mr P J GROENEWALD: Hon Deputy Speaker, may I address you? I am not asking to censure the hon member. I am referring to alleged statements. Returning to my member's statement, I go on to say that I have asked the Minister of Police to launch a proper investigation into the matter and to make the findings of that investigation public, because it is necessary for the people of South Africa to know if they can place their trust in the police. This is also in the interests of the members of the police.
So I'm asking the hon Minister to finalise that which I have already requested him to do, so that we can return to this House and I can then propose that we debate the issue. It is not conducive to fighting crime if an hon member of this House acts in the manner in which the hon member Winnie Madikizela-Mandela is alleged to have acted.]
