Let me make it absolutely clear that the liberation movement that Mandela led and still leads - he is still our leader - stands for a nonracial and a nonsexist future. [Interjections.] It's in the Constitution and the aims and objectives of the ANC.
Now, it's quite extraordinary that a liberation movement for the liberation of black people - and Africans in particular - should stand for a nonracial future. It's a bit odd. Why should these black people stand for a nonracial future? One would expect black people would start a liberation movement for themselves or to establish what used to be called a "black republic". But not this ANC, and not Mandela. So, why is it that the ANC says they stand for the liberation of black people, but they also stand for a nonracial future? What is this?
It seems to me that the DA and people like you don't understand this. [Laughter.] What we are saying to you - I'm going to try and explain it to you in this debate. [Interjections.] You see, there is absolutely no prospect of a nonracial South Africa without the liberation of black people. It can't happen because, as things are structured now and were before, there is no prospect that you can have a nonracial society without the liberation of black people.
You people, where you are in power, do not favour the creation of a nonracial society. You talk about it, but you keep promoting merit and you keep talking about equality of opportunity. This means that the historically disadvantaged people of this province will never make it into equality. [Applause.]
The hon Trollip said: "Where the DA governs, it governs well." Let me tell you that I live in Cape Town; I grew up in Cape Town. We have a DA city and DA province, and it does not govern well. [Interjections.] If you don't believe me, come with me to Military Road, Lavender Hill and to all those ... [Interjections.]
